Does A TB Test Affect The Menstrual Cycle?

Hi I took a TB test today and around 4 o clock this evening i came on my cycle, it s very light but it s still on. However, im only asking if the tb test have effects on menstrual cycles? because I have the nexaplanon birth control and I haven t had a cycle in three years. A registered nurse told me no, but she was very rude so I end up ending the call. Another question I have is, could this be happening because my birth control is almost time to be taken out or no ? If you answer no to either one of questions could you please explain to me what could be the cause of this. Thanks for listening

Hi,

The TB test is not related to coming period. It is not related to your implant being near end. The cycle is sometimes delayed and sometimes prolonged spotting or period while on implant.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
