Possibly: Chronic inflammatory disease such as lupus can effect menstrual periods. Discuss this with your gynecologist.

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Irregular: Irregular and missed periods happen due to irregular or missed ovulations. By definition you have ovulatory dysfunction. This might be due to lupus, but more likely not - up to 30% of women have some ovulatory irregularity.
