Covid vaccine and menstruation

[Anonymous]

Should have started my period today, two days post shot #2. Nope. But I sure had the headache I usually get with it. So I’be missed two periods now (missed right after shot #1)

My period has been shockingly regular since last March, so I’m chalking it up to the vaccine. It’s not worrying me, I’ve had my periods get messed up after illnesses or injuries.

Going to take vitex for a month and see if it starts back up. Definitely not pregnant, definitely feel premenstrual and miserable today.

I wonder if people who tested positive for COVID had any menstrual irregularities,

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.

Please stop saying 500k people died. It is inaccurate. Almost 4 million people died.

You must be som special kind of idiot because you just did the very thing you accused me of doing (which in itself is laughable). Shoo. Go away.
Of course there are 9 BILLION people on the planet. Two people die every second (4 people are born). We have an overpopulation problem (and way too few people die from covid to solve it). More have died from lack of drinking water over the past 4 years than die from covid. Please stop using people's lives for your own personal opinion. It's awful.

So you're a COVID minimizer and an anti-vaxxer. How special. Go waste someone else's time. Bye.

My 20 year old daughter had covid last summer and has only had a couple periods since then. She haw the obgyn who just said to “give it time.”

I’m not convinced that having covid is safer than the vaccine for fertility.

Hi, I am 55 post menopausal. Had J and J shot two weeks ago. Experiencing uterine bleeding. Blood tests show every thing is normal. Having inernal and external ultrasounds tomorrow. I feel fine.

I did not experience this issue when I contracted covid last summer. My menstruations are out of wack for the past 3 months post the pfizer vaccine. The CDC told me this is normal but the pain was unbearable the first month.

“And because of this perception of our cycles (linked as they are to our immune systems) as overly complicated variables that pharmaceutical companies have long ignored, women are too often left without good information on how drugs and vaccines will impact women who experience natural cycles of menstruation and ovulation.”

Thank you very much for sharing this article. I found so much of it interesting.

"Disturbingly, the lack of significant testing on women in clinical trials is also why an estimated 80 percent of drugs that are eventually taken off the market are removed because of adverse side effects in women."

Natural cycle women do not get the benefit of health data (or access to quick treatment and monitoring).

Pfizer is testing on pregnant women *now* for the first time (met with applause from women health advocates).

This is false. Clinical trials are not allowed to knowingly test pregnant women. If they started the trail and conceived during the time of the evaluation, the data is recorded. As a person who has done many trails this is standard practice. As for the long-term side effects, we will soon know. If you want to verify this statement, call any drug trail company ask if as a pregnant woman you can register for the program. You will be denied.
