Hi. I'm due to start my dose of Accutane in 2 weeks. My dose is 20mg due to my weight of 46kg and my height of 5'4. So my biggest concern is does accutane affect the reproductive system? Currently my periods are SO REGULAR. SCARILY REGULAR. Thankfully. They come on the 21st of each month. I'm scared that accutane will disrupt my cycle. Could someone please confirm if my worries are legitimate? And if the cycle messes up during accutane... will the menstrual cycle return to normal after the course? Thank you so much for reading and replying! Oh and also, I'm NOT TAKING BIRTH CONTROL PILLS DUE TO RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND BEING ABSTINENT. Please share your experience with me!

Yes it does so don't take accutane. Have you seen repairing damage from accutane thread? You should be scared of accutane.

Here in the U.S. it is listed is a possible side effect under Reproductive System abnormal menses. So it is a possibility and the thing is abnormal menses is kind of vague, it can mean a lot of things. You can do a search on here or google infertility. I have read some stories of women who felt it caused their infertility. Accutane is usually for severe acne, if you acne is not severe or possibly hormonal I would suggest looking into other options.

Good Luck!
