A member asked:
Does getting the cold virus and taking tablets affect your period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: The common cold and its effects do not usually affect your period. That being said, "stress" and illness can have an effect on your cycle and lead to temporary cycle irregularity. If you are having abnormal cycles, make sure you check a pregnancy test and also discuss this with your ob/gyn.
