Increase in periods?

[daisy.girl]

My last cycle was just 24 days apart, and I started again today, just 18 days since the last.

Can a increase in periods be from Tysabri too??

i had that happen once while on tysabri--but only once.
i had 2 periods between the 2 (24) day infusions..mormally i'm on a pretty regular 28 day cycle for my period.just once it happened to me so i can't know if tysabri caused it--although tysabri is the most easily blamed for any changes.

i do keep track on the calender both my infusions and my periods---i think you have to do that to see if its a change that ty caused or just a blip in your cycle.

in the transcripts by the fda that approved ty to go back to marketing---one side affect that a frew reported was disruption in menstraul cycle.

if its happening that would be a tolerable side affect. considering this is treating a pretty serious illness to prevent disability & if a immunosuppresant is used it will through a woman into early menapause.

i think that is something you will have to chart over time before you can say if its a ty side affect...i do know you have been been very anxious about starting ty--so anxiety alone can cause a disruption in the menstraul cycle. tough to say yet if its a ty side affect for you yet.

i get heavier bleeding during my cycle if my ty infusion was the week before my period...but i don't seem to have issues with my period if i do my ty infusion a week after my period..

heavier period

i get heavier bleeding during my cycle if my ty infusion was the week before my period

I think this happened to me last month. My 4th infusion was on 9/15. On 9/19 I started the longest & heaviest period I've had in a long time.

I just turned 50. My cycle has been less regular & bleeding has been lighter & not lasted as long as it used to for quite awhile. Suddenly last month a much heavier & longer period.

Maybe an effect of the Ty? I will be on the lookout for another one next month.

People have said Ty can bring on early menopause. Can it also delay it??

Daisy's cycle pre-Ty

Daisy, how many days apart were your periods before you started Tysabri?
