I had an intramuscular injection of Kenalog 9/23/13 for a sinus infection and inflammation. I, too, have always had very regular normal periods. Not on the pill. On 10/18, my period started as usual and was normal, except maybe a little lighter. It stopped on 10/23, as usual. Then 10/25 i started bleeding again. Within a day it had progressed to heavy bleeding with clots, no end in sight. Went to ob/gyn office where they kept saying this is common at this age (42), but agreed that the abrupt change was not typical. They reluctantly "agreed" that the Kenalog could be a contributing factor, as well as the 3 courses of antibiotics taken in August-October. Did a pelvic ultrasound that was normal except a 4 cm cyst on the left ovary, which was not ruptured or bleeding, so not the cause of this trouble. They suggested I take 2 Safyral (birth control pills) today, reassess tomorrow. If bleeding continues, take two more and taper down as the bleeding slows. Has anyone else tried this and had it work?
