A member asked:
Can a corticosteroid injection disrupt the normal menstrual cycle and cause periods 2 weeks apart? this has happened to me twice in past month.

Yes.: Uncommon, but definitely can disrupt your menstrual cycle. It should not last longer than two cycles though! it does not happen to most women.
