I have been taking Depakote ER for 4 months now. I have, too, been wondering if this drug changes your menstrual cycle. I am 4 days late and my husband and I have not been trying to conceive. I have a 2 year old and an 8 month old. My cycle has always been regular and I have only been late during my pregnancies. I tested positive on a hpt a little over a week ago. I went to my doctor the following day and had a urine test that was negative. This is all very frustrating to me. I believe this medication is really messing with my hormones. I am finding very little information about this. Help!!!

you should not try to get pregnant while on depakote there is a high risk of malformation For the baby or spin a bifid a. Please ask your dr to change your medication!
