Do you really think the average woman can explain how the menstrual cycle works at the physiological level? And how the physiological stress response works? And how the immune system works? And how they interact at the cellular and molecular levels? It doesn't mean anyone is dumb, it just means they haven't gone to school to learn that stuff and maybe don't need to act like the sky is falling if the vaccine alters their cycle for one month.

Wow, pp. Do you not realize how condescending you are being?

Sorry you feel that way but “I kNoW mY bOdY” is not a substitute for medical knowledge and doesn’t qualify people to make the inferences they’ve been making on this topic. And it is downright irresponsible during a pandemic that has killed half a million people. These discussions are not harmless as much as you want to tell yourself they are.

My period came exactly 28 days after the shot.

DP. You are all.over DCUM posting trolling nonsense like this. Go back to your QAnon subreddits, please.

Oh my god, every time you bring QAnon into this, you reveal yourself to be the real idiot. We’re just a couple of ladies talking about periods. Go away.

+1. Completely agree. I wasn’t the poster he/she was responding to but I was the one who referenced searching Reddit for anyone interested in more account of this. He/she seems to erroneously think everyone posting on this is just the same person when there are many people in this forum interested and hundreds at least actively posting in other social media forums. I admittedly never go on Reddit or know anything about its customer base so have no basis to opine on whether Qanon uses it. I just searched many different social media forums to find information on this and found the biggest trove there but also found lots of discussions on babycenter and community Facebook pages. But regardless of Reddit’s history, i feel pretty confident that Qanon is not infiltrating DCUM and Israel with these reports 🙄

DP. She's right though. I am highly educated and I would never claim I understand how the menstrual cycle works at a physiological level.

But no one is claiming to. People are simply posting about their experiences. I also don’t know how fatigue and headaches work on a physiological level in response to vaccines but I as well as millions others have reported and posted about that

Oh please. Reports of periods being off schedule to various degrees with some cramping or heavy flows are as innocuous as people saying they needed to take a day off from work due to temporary nausea, headaches, fever, chills and what have you from the vaccine. No one has made claims of long term menstrual issues or issues with fertility. Calm down.

+1! I got my shot yesterday afternoon and am still having the exact same symptoms. I always get lower back pain and horrible pain that radiates down the from of my legs leading up to and through the first few days of my period. My period just ended less than a week ago so I'll be seriously p*ssed off if I get again

Definitely worth it and will be getting my second shot, but still.....

By the way - do people who want to silence this discussion see what you are actually doing? Causing more alarm and giving the issue even more attention. Silencing personal experiences does not work, beyond being completely unfair and unethical.

Except fatigue and headache people are taking about are immediately after-48hrs after shot. Trying to say your period 2 weeks after the shot was 4 days late is a vaccine side effect is laughably dumb (and medically irrelevant to health). The only reason why I can even see thread after thread getting re-started by the same person about this is to drum up anti-vaxxing sentiment veiled under body discussion

You are wrong on many counts. Each thread has been started by a different person (I am one of them.) No one who has started one has been anti-vaxx. And I personally posted about a very, very odd period that began the day after my shot. Is that in on par with headache and fatigue? Am I allowed to talk about that?

Seriously. I’m disgusted. Women are each other’s own worst enemy.

+1. I started ONE of the four and am not the above poster.

I think it is much much more likely any cycle irregularities are due to stress or something else and not the vaccine directly. On any given month thousands of women have “irregular” periods even though they are typically regular. This is super common and can be from so many things, the vast majority being totally benign.

Ive been on a 25 day cycle for 15 years. Im never late or early unless I am pregnant so an irregular period would be quite an outlier for me. Irregular periods are common to experience on vast population-level data but individual data still has a place.

Yep. These drama queens are either unintentionally or intentionally mimicking classic anti-vaccine rhetoric. “I’m just sharing my experience.” “You can’t silence us!” “These things need to be talked about”. Text your friends. Or maybe you don’t have any? It’s been established that some women have had irregularities in their periods after getting the vaccine. There is no benefit to continuing to harp on it on social media except to contribute to vaccine skepticism and hesitancy which is the opposite of what we need.

I don’t know... I am in a humanities field and have read a fair amount about this stuff. Yes it’s complicated, but there are some basics women could understand to optimize their menstrual health. FWIW in some other cultures there is a lot of discussion about periods and the relation between overall health and menstrual issues. I used Chinese medicine to deal with my endometriosis, which Western medicine said could only be controlled by putting my body into early menopause. Even my surgeon was amazed that I had no regrowth seven years after my surgery, a fact that Western medicine can’t explain since I didn’t go on birth control but instead adjusted my diet and lifestyle.

I scheduled my vaccine so it would be about a week into my cycle. I am probably on the threshold of perimenopause and can definitely feel when my estrogen dips. Things get more achy and I feel less energetic and well. I have had no issues with the vaccine or effects on my cycle.

And yet here you are, keeping this thread alive. It’s Friday night, shouldn’t you be out with the girls?
