Can being on IV Rocephin cause menstrual irregularities? My period has been very normal for the last several months and now that I've started my IV I haven't had a period. I'm like 2.5 weeks late! I'm not pregnant (I hope not anyways!)

Yes, menstrual irregularities are very common with Lyme. The longest with no period for me was 8 months when I first started treating with IV but it wasn't Rocephin.

IV Rocephin affects pituitary which affects hormones, so yes, this is common.

Do you happen to know if that's a Rocephin issue, a cephalosporin issue, or a Lyme/herx issue? Very interesting to hear that also.
