Cimzia causing missed periods

bethhhwilliamsss

Hello,

I was put on Cimzia injections to treat my RA due to my other biologic treatment causing liver problems. Since starting Cimzia in April I have only had 1 period in 7 months. I am trying to figure out if this has been caused by the drug as my partner and I are thinking about starting a family in the next year or so.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? And what did the you/ doctors do to help?

Many thanks,

Beth

Hi @bethhhwilliamsss have you consulted your GP/Consultant as they would probably be best to approach?

Hope you get the answers you need.

I'm on MTX and hydroxychloroquine and my periods stopped - I assumed it may have been a side effect of the meds so mentioned it at my RA appointment but she told me to speak to my GP. Turns out it's early menopause for me
