I had steroid shots to my lumbar spine and shoulder area and last month, my period came late 6 days and this month, my period is 10 days late. I am stressed about being pregnant and thinking about going to buy a test at the pharmacy. Will the results be accurate?
Steroid shots to lumbar spine/ shoulder will not affect menstrual cycles. I recommend that you take a home pregnancy test to confirm/rule out pregnancy. Steroid shots will not affect pregnancy test results.
