Diagnosis that has been suggested: kidney failure, transplanted 10 weeks ago
Current medical status: kidney transplant paitent
Current medical treatment: office visits to specialist 2x a week, cyclosporin and cell cept anti rejection drugs, blood pressure drugs ect

Pregnancy is one possibility that can be easily checked if you do a pregnancy test. Lack of menstruation can also be due to the cycle irregularities that you have had for a long time.

Immunosuppressant drugs you are using can also affect the ovarian function and disturb the menstrual cycles.
