[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Highly irregular period question
I got my period on time on April 5, about 2 weeks after my first vaccine dose, and had a normal 5-day period.  
I got ANOTHER period on April 16 (Day 12 of my cycle), with my second dose of Moderna on the 18th.  I am now on Day 6 with no signs of it stopping, meaning I have been bleeding 11 of the last 17 days.  
At what point do I need to call my doctor?  Is there anything she could even do to help me? I am 44 and def in perimenopause. But I can't just have my period indefinitely.  [/quote]

Irregularity is normal in peri menopause, but definitely call if you think something is beyond “normal irregular.”   But the blood loss itself shouldn’t be a problem.  The avg cycle is only about 6-8 tsp of blood loss[/quote]

What I’m reading in a lot of the abnormal bleeding accounts (and also experienced myself) is that it is HEAVY, with lots and lots of large clots. 6-8 teaspoons,  this was not. I started taking a daily iron supplement around day 10 and my hemoglobin was low when I finally got to the doc on day 26. (I’m the 47-dayer PP.)[/quote]
