How Effective Is Ortho Tricycline On Periods ?
Hi, I have been diagnosed with lupus and am dealing with it for 7 years now. I am on cellcept and plaquinil and enalapryl for 2 years now. I have been haivng my periods every 2 weeks ( 2 per month ) with a lot of cramping from September 2013. I dealt with it a couple of months then in Nov my do put me on Ortho tricycline. I have been taking it for a little over a month and my periods are still not regularized. I started having very bad acne from summer. In Dec, my doc put me on antibiotics ( for one month) on minocyclin. I am worried about my periods--what do I do?
