It is a side effect of warfarin. Were you on any oral hypoglycemic agent before AVR?

What are Cortisol and TSH results? Stress can cause amenorrhea, however there might be a possible cause in pituitary.

So hydrocortisone was started when investigation for low BP was completed? This is the cause of both hypoglycemia and amenorrhea. In 1931 experiments on dogs had cured their diabetes by suppressing through cortisol .

It takes 6 months for pituitary to recover and sometimes longer.
