I had a Kenalog injection in my left bum check in June 2007 to reduce hayfever symtoms. My menstrual periods are always regular - since the injection they have been VERY irregular, more days on than off. I also had a very heavy bleed which i thought was a miscarriage at the time (if it was a pregnancy then it would have been unplanned). I now think that my irregular periods and the heavy bleed are due to the Kenalog. I also have a mark at the site of the injection which is not fading - i think it will scar. When i went to my GP to complain about my irregular periods the GP dismissed me and said that i had an STD and sent me for a swab!!! I knew he was wrong and i felt very humiliated. My GP did not warn me about this side-effect of Kenalog, even though i asked about them. I have been told that the Kenalog will be in my body for 3 months - i only hope that things return to normal once it has left my system. I will never have it again.

I had a shot when I was on my period and now I have been bleeding for over 5 weeks I'm pre menopause but I went over 100 days before my period started.. did you ever stop bleeding?? I wish I never had this shot too but it helped my arm was hurting and my asthma is so far better .my drs said it could mess up my period but this is rediculous the cramps and clotting is horrible I 've always been a heavy bleeder but this is bad.
