Does Taking Antibiotic Shot And Steroids Cause Delay In Menstrual Cycle?
Hi I had pneumonia tha second week in december. I was taking birth control pills also. I stopped taking the birth control after the first week because I recieved an antibiotic shot and was taking pill antibiotics and steroids. After I finished that round, I was given more antibiotics and steroids (stronger ones). Now my menstrual is 4 days late and im wondering if it has anything to do with all the meds I took within the last month?
