Default Spironolactone and bleeding

Hi everyone,

I've been taking 100 mg of spiro once a day for about a month. It was about a couple of weekds after I started taking spiro that I got AF. Now I just started AF again, and it's only been 21 days since AF last came.

Before taking spiro, AF was coming only about every 3 to 4 months. Now suddenly AF came twice in a month!

Anyone else have this happen? MY gyn told me to wait till AF comes next time to start BCP. Should I start it now and will the BCP help with this weird bleeding? Or will it correct itself? Please help!

That might be something to talk to your doctor about. I don't think it's healthy to have a short luteal phase. It may or may not be menstration blood. It's definiately something to call your doctor about.

Spiro can cause people to have crazy periods. Some people get over it after 3 - 6 months. Some people have to take BCP to control it. I think having a period every 21 - 35 days is considered normal. I am on Spiro and mine come every 21 days like clockwork on Monday. However, I am definitely in perimenopause and periods tend to come closer together as you near menopause. I would hate to give Spiro up because I don't have cramps when I am on it. I have bad cramps and other unpleasant physical reactions when I am not on it. I'm pretty sure I'm ovulating because almost as soon as my period ends, I get breast tenderness that lasts until my next period starts.

i was on 100 mg of spiro and my periods became regular for a while, and then I didn't have one for 2 months, so my endo upped the dosage to 200mg. After that, I had a period once every 2 weeks. I had to stop taking that after 2 months and haven't had another period since without taking Provera.

I take 100mg spiro a day since May 30th and had AF within the second week of taking it. I feel like I am going to start again any day. Before I started the meds, I would go 7 months or so without AF. Hopefully it will become normal! Tommorrow will make 21 days so we will see......
