A member asked:
Perfect cycles till recently; then missed 2 periods in a row. took 2 rounds prednisone--could it cause this sudden absence of menstruation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally no: Prednisone does not typically impact the menstrual cycle. If you sick in someway that prompted the use of steroids the illness it self may have caused a lack of periods. If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test.
