hey everyone i just have a quick question....i just got my cystoscopy done on nov 5th and was diagnosed with IC. I started the elimiron that day and now i am a week late with my period. I was just wondering if that happened to anyone else when they got their procedure done and starting taking the elimiron. Also, I have been taking the pill since I was 13 and I'm 18 now and I haven't missed or been late since I was about 14. Thanks for reading!
*I hope this is normal!!!*

it didn't do that to me but if you have sex then you should take an preg. test.
I do hope everything turns out okay for you.
sending you hugs and prayers

3. MSIR 30mg 1 or 2 every 4-6hrs as needed for breakthrew pain.
4. Fentanyl 100 mg Change every 48hrs.

Ditto what Rhonda said, especially if you took an antibiotic for the cystoscopy, you should take a pregnancy test. Antibiotics are notorious for interfering with birth control pills.

It didn't happen to me when I started elmiron but I hadn't had a cystoscopy the same day....stress can interfere whith hormones a lot though and finding out you have IC can be a big stresser. I hope things are ok.
Faith, Hope, and Love,
