This question is for the ladies! Are any of you that are currently on Tecfidera also using any type of birth control? I've always had regular cycles and am currently on the pill, but 2 months into Tec and my periods have become unpredictable.

Are you old enough to be going through menopause? Shortly after I was dx and got on Copaxone I discovered I was going into the big "m" and my monthly friend stopped visiting : )

I'm 32 and have been on Tecfidera for about 3 months now (w/BC). I had a barely-there period last month, and haven't gotten mine at all this month :/ it's worrisome

I am on tecfideria and 62 so too old conceive. This drug stops relapses to occur.

Nope. I'm 28. I've read some women have had their cycles stop completely after starting Tec, but I seem to be having the opposite problem!
