MRI & adverse effects on Menstrual Cycles

I’m currently in the same situation, did you end up getting your period in the end?

I'm also wondering if or when period return. I've copper coil in and currently late with negative pregnancy test. Had a MRI with contrast due 2 weeks ago

Hi christynny I was wondering what ever came of your situation Im having similar issue had MRI on day 1 of period last month and this month I'm late . Negative tests and had unrelated internal scan yesterday.

My period ended 2 days ago. Had the lumbar spine MRI done today and felt heat during scanning. Later in the day, felt pain in the stomach and tonight got my period again. Totally full blown bloody period. 2 days after it was over! Several hours after an MRI. Hello doctors??!! Do you see how many of us experience this? Where is the research?

Last day of my normal period was the 14th of April. I had an MRI on the 25th.. I started bleeding on the following day. I just finished yesterday. I hope. I am so sure it was the MRI. They want to do another one. I refused. Let's hope I'm okay. Ha ha. I don't want anymore exposure. :(

Hi I had my MRI yesterday 12/07/23 n few hours later started my period n I wasn't due for another 2 weeks...I thought it was odd but this happened a few months back during another MRI but didn't think anything of it as I was due that same day...not heavy but crampy

I'm having the exact same experience. Same number of weeks and all.

This is an 11 years later update to this post which I made when I was barely 23. ( :( I was a baby)

Well, period comes on time now however the amount of blood is only a lot on the first day, is no longer steady thought my 5 period days like it used to be prior to that mri, it’s like the blood is gone by the second day. The dizziness that I experience around my period days has not gone away 11 years after this mri. I never had menstrual issues before, I don’t have pain, just weird dizziness and little amount of period blood. Still no answers as to what’s causing this. In fact I came back to search menstrual issues after an mri because im currently having dizzy spells and my period is due soon and I am fed up of not knowing why I get dizzy.

Hi there, I’m aware this is a very old feed, but in the hope that others find it by random for reassurance, like I did via Google, searching ‘MRI caused a menstrual cycle?’ I had full head to base of spine MRI on Wednesday evening, awoke to cramping and started heavy heavy bleeding a few hours later. At first I thought it was in my urine as it had saturated everything which is odd, but it was my period.. 8 days early.. I’m a clock work 1 day heavy 2 day light kinda gal. This cycle was unprecedented for me. it was a bit of a shock but I’m glad I found others who had similar experiences after an MRI. I will email the radiology dep tomorrow so it’s recorded but as far as I can search, no medical research has ever been conducted on this.. I’m not fearful, however it would be interesting to know why? Medically or is it the magnetic field messing with our cycle, like the moon?? Interesting to know

Hi, not got any answers but just to say I had an MRI yesterday, I had finished my period a day earlier and I had spotting within a couple of hours and full blown period today only a day after finishing my last one, had contrast. Also felt pain during the MRI in my uterus

I haven’t had my period in over two years. Most likely due to pcos, but I haven’t really had any answers from the doctors. Anyway I got a brain mri scan with contrast. Two days later and I’m getting spotting, which is more than what I’ve had over the last two years. I’d be interested to see if I’ll start getting my periods regularly now or not.
