Can Misoprostol Cause A Late/missed Period?

Updated

I took 2 doses of Misoprostol 200 mcg vaginally about 4 days ago. I had an appt with my Doctor for insertion of an IUD device. I was sure that I would have my period on the day of the procedure and still took the dosage prescribed. I was suppose to get my period 5 days ago and took the medication 4 days ago. I could also not do the IUD procedure because I didn't have my period. My doctor did a pregnancy test just in case and it was negative. A pregnancy COULD be possible but unlikely. Can this medication cause a missed or late period? Or is it a stronger possibility that I am pregnant because this medication can't cause a late period?

kamal, you might be showing signs of an infection. I would recommend visiting your doctor as soon as possible since they should check for any infection, and also why you are having symptoms of a missed period and swelling in your stomach. What kind of pregnancy test did you take? Was it at home? If so then it would be more accurate for them to check it at your OB/GYN office.

Tina, I have not been able to verify what you have reported. I was checking through some of the side effects on the NIH (Dailymed) leaflet for Misoprostol and nothing was mentioned along the lines of affecting the menstrual cycle. What I did read is that it may cause uterine contractions and is contraindicated for pregnant women. With that said, were you able to get any more details from your doctor. Also, I know that it's been awhile since your post, but did you end up getting your menstrual cycle since then?

I saw my period on the 3rd of last month. I was intimate with my fiance and i used contraceptive to be on the safe side. I've been having cramps and nipple pains since 28th till now and my period is due to come on the 1st or 3rd of this month. YET i haven't seen it. Took a test this morning and I'm pregnant. Honestly this is odd cause he used a condom and I was on contraceptives. Please I need an explanation, I'm freaking out.
