Dexamethasone suppression test and my period?

Hi, everyone! I had a dexamethasone suppression test the other week. Has anyone ever had a change in the periods due to taking steroids? I'm not sure if it's related or not... I took the dexamethasone on Thursday night and I got my period on 1/7/17 It's 7-10 days early and I'm usually very regular. Is this a common side effect? Weird because I only took one, 1 mg dose.

Thoughts? Should I let him my endocrinologist know when I speak with him?

Thank you!
