[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In other words, shhhhh, stop talking about this! You might confuse all the women who are too dumb to understand science and their own bodies. Got it.[/quote]

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.

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.[/quote]

PP above would love to hear more about this. My DD (16) has really bad period cramps. We have her on progesterone, and it's helping some, but not enough. I never had bad cramps so can't really relate and don't know how to help her. We did do an U/S and it's not endometriosis.

We got Pfizer this week and her period came early and painful a few days later, but hers are always irregular, so I can't say that is a side effect.[/quote]
