I’m one of at least two long bleeders in this thread, and still going on day, uhhh, 46, I think? Lost count. Granted, it is much lighter and not debilitating as it was in the beginning, but it is still very much present. I am managing and dealing with side effects of oral progesterone, which are in some ways worse than the bleeding itself.

Honestly, the most depressing part of all of this is trying to find reliable information on the internet and wading into places where people are just lambasting women for bringing up abnormal bleeding. There’s definitely some anti-vax quackery out there, but there are some legitimate concerns that are being lumped together and drowned out, and that’s a real shame.

I posted a while back that I have an IUD and had lower stomach pain after both doses. After reading this thread I thought maybe they were cramps.

Update- it’s two months after the second dose and I have light spotting. I have not had a period in a very long time. DD has hers right now and I remember how women in the same house get them at the same time. So odd. I’m considering calling the doctor. No cramps.

I am ALL for science and vaccines. I will preface with that. But wow, how scary that it is affecting so many people like this. I’ve never had another vaccine disrupt my cycle, and I’ve been vaccinated for tons of different things as an adult (pre-COVID I traveled all over for work).

Huh. Platelets. Where have I heard that before? Oh right:

“Two weeks later, she began to have heavy vaginal bleeding. After two days she saw her obstetrician, who ordered blood work and scheduled other tests. A few hours later, he called and urged her to go straight to the emergency room. He was stunned and hoped it was a lab error, but her blood count showed zero platelets.”

But, seriously, nothing to investigate here. It’s not permanent, it’s chance, it’s anecdotal...

Exactly. Doctors seem as dumbfounded as everyone else. Is there anyone who knows what’s going on?

I’m sure they are investigating it. Report to VAERS if you have prolonged or heavy bleeding, and go see your doctor.

I have done both, thanks. Unfortunately it seems doctors don’t necessarily know how to treat the odd rare side effect, as they are unfolding in real time.
