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.

While that may be true for some, it’s absurd to just discount people’s experiences with that. You are talking about people who are in menopause or have birth control that has stopped their periods for years or who have been like clockwork for years and all experienced periods shortly after the vaccine. I personally have to laugh my behind off at the idea that the stress of the vaccine may have caused my irregular period. I’m a biglaw partner who works 70 hours per week and have for over ten years and was bedridden for months and hospitalized for a week with swine flu in 2010 yet through it all, I have never once been even a day late for my period, with the exception of being pregnant. I even breastfed for two years and got my period back at 6 weeks postpartum and from then got my period literally to the day like clockwork throughout breastfeeding. I did not have any other side effects from the first vaccine and also happened to be on vacation. To say it is impossible that stress is to blame would be an understatement of the year[/quote]

Different stressors have different effects on us.  I am former military and encountered a lot of stress to say the least.  Never had irregular periods.  Some weird family stuff happened a couple yrs ago and bam, period was 10 days late for the first time ever in my life.  The family stuff didn’t seem all that stressful and certainly not a a level I haven’t experienced, but I can’t think of anything else that would have caused me to be so late.  This stuff happens though.  Ask any OB.  I called mine bc I was worried and the nurse told me unless it has been over 45 days since last period or over 3 months of irregularity, that it is considered just a normal variance [/quote]
