Hi RapaLadies 
Firstly, I apologize if this topic is sensitive for anyone. Just reaching out to share a bit of my experience and gather some of yours, if you feel comfortable. After my second ever dose of rapamycin, my period decided to show up a week ahead of schedule! I haven’t made / observed any other notable changes that usually prompt this (like stress, weight change, travel), but I did come across a paper (Menstrual disorders associated with sirolimus treatment - PubMed) indicating rapamycin might affect our cycles.
For those who do feel comfortable sharing, I was wondering if any of you have had a similar experience with your menstrual timing after taking rapamycin? And for those of you who did have cycle irregularities - did your cycles eventually get back to normal with continued rapamycin use?

As it for me, I think RAPA makes my circle more regular, and it also seems to lengthen my cycle,from 28 to 30 days.

Thanks for sharing! Did your cycle adjust smoothly right away or did you notice any irregularities at first before it lengthened to 30 days?

Last year I had about three months of Rapamycin vacation . during this days, my cycle shortened to 26 days, I was shocked but it could have been just a fluke situation. I resumed my regimen and logged it from January 1 this year, and so far my cycle has stabilized at 30 days. I love rapa,in every sense of the word.

I pesonally have seen alterations ( or none or súper heavy and longer) but am not even a year in, and haven’t been very consistent ( due to skin eruptions in the first 6 months) and it may also be my age so I think that things may stabilise in the near future now that am getting more consistent in ±10 day doses … (let’s see what the next month brings😉)
