| I was diagnosed with Covid this week and wondering if there is any correlation between my cycle starting earlier than usual (10 days)? My cycle is generally like clockwork but off this month. I can't help but draw a connection. Coincidence? I am 44 btw. |

| I think your cycle responds to stressors - like Covid. |

| Well, there are changes with many for the vaccine, so it doesn’t seem odd to expect it with covid, either. For both my second shot and booster my period was a week earlier than expected. |

Mine didn’t come early but coincided with my Covid.
It’s been extremely heavy, more so than usual, with golf ball sized clots. |

Mine has been unusually scant. |

Widely known, no big deal.
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/01/06/1070796638/covid-vaccine-periods "A new scientific study shows that vaccination can cause changes to the timing of menstruation. But it also shows the effects are temporary, more akin to a sore arm than a serious adverse event." |

| I was starting my period when I caught covid last week and it stopped suddenly and has not yet returned. |

The attached article is about the vaccine and menstrul cycle. The question is about contracting Covid and it changing the cycle. |

| This just recently happened to me as well. Contracted Covid in early December and period started a week early. Three weeks later and here it is again. |
