Category: Kenalog-40 (Injection)

I had a Kenalog-40 injection on Friday January 13th 2006. In my right sholder do to bursitis. I am on no other meds. My period was do to start on the 12th so I was 1 day late or my 29th cycle day. It has been a week and I have not started. Urine pregnancy test negative. Blood pregnancy test yesterday negative. Is the lateness from the Kenalog and if so how much of a delay can I expect ? Other then 2 pregnancies. I have never missed a cycle from day 1 age 11 to now age 34. I have had 3 major surgeries none on my female organs and last surgery 1998. I have come early once or twice but never late. How long will this delay last I am on an emotional Roller coaster . Is it possible to be pregnate and the HCG not show up in the test ?
Thank You, Norma J Cohol

Kenalog injection experience

Hi Norma
A few years ago l had a kenolog injection. Unfortunatley my cycle was affected.My periods were not late they were all over the place. This apparently is a side effect of Kenolog. l like youself felt emotionally unstable. l can t give you any medical advise but l would be intrested to see how you go on. Hopefully it will sort itself out quickly

Missed period

I know how you feel! I’m 41 years old and got a Kenalog shot one week before my period was due to start. I am having a very strange period this month. No actual bleeding is present. It is more like dried blood that occurs toward the end of a period. I called my doctor and she stated that this is a side effect of Kenalog. Have things gotten back on track for you?

Irregular Period

I did receive the Kenalog injection about sixty days ago and I have experienced a stop and go period since the injection. My OB/GYN Doctor wants to do a biopsy on me and after reading some of your comments I don't think I am going to go forward with this. Please answer if anyone knows of how long I will have irregular periods and how long kenalog is present in the body?

Thanks Lisa
