Could having gone off seizure medication and birth control have anything to do with having a late period


Answers:

Answer

I don't know how seizure medication affects periods but I do know that menstrual cycles of many women are irregular when first getting off of birth control.. some start spotting and/or bleeding for days on end while others do not get periods for months on end. I think it all depends on your system and how long you were on birth control prior to stopping.
