No...: Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) will not affect your cycle. At the age of 52 if you are having abnormal, prolonged bleeding, then this should be evaluated as a completely new problem. You deserve an exam and an ultrasound to evaluate further.

Prolonged period: Yes your infection or Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) could prolong your period, however with a little time should return to normal. Ask again if this does not resolve soon.
