My cycles are way out of whack. I'm 43 and have a family history of early menopause, but I swear my UC is playing a role. When I was initially diagnosed, I didn't know what I had and had gone without period for 4 months. I thought I was in menopause. Once I got on the drugs and my UC was under control, my period came back. Then I skipped a month. Then it came back. Then it came back 2 weeks after it ended. Then it skipped a few months. Now I'm close to normal, but it's definitely different. I'm on Prednisone now for a flare. At the onset of the flare, I was on day 1 of my period. Not uncommon to flare with cycles, I guess. Well, my period abruptly ended. Once the Prednisone got going, it's like it continued where it left off. It's nuts. I'm sure my proximity to menopause isn't helping.
I am almost 46 so I am sure menopause isn't out of the picture here either. I have never missed a period, but the last two have been 17 days or less apart!
