Mine too! OMG! And I just had a booster! So, I had my second Moderna end of April, and then I had my normal periods and then from June to September, nothing!
Then two in a row normal, then now I am late, and I got the booster last week!
It is clearly not that I am 50, but Moderna is to blame.

Sure you aren't. Millions of 33 yearolds are suddenly perimenopausal, ironically right after being vaccinated.

No, PP - this is real. Be happy that it didn't impact you.


What evidence do you have that millions of 33 year olds have had menstrual changes? I think that definitely would have come up in the trials. What wouldn’t have come up would be a normal number of women having menstrual changes in both vaccine and placebo groups. But a lot of those women might mistakenly believe the changes were due to the shot because of the timing.


It’s not millions. You need to stop fear mongering . Anecdata is not data.
Menstruation was NOT information that was captured in the trials. Literally was not asked. Also cancer patients and autoimmune patients were not included in trials. Trials did not capture everything.

This is a very real issue, not just random anecdotes. My OB told me as much. And there are now studies looking into it.

For my booster I got it about five days before my period was due, and I got it two days early. Wasn’t terrible.

Whew. Op mine was wonky from March to about September. It finally got settled again and I really hesitated on the booster until omicron. Getting it Saturday but I am not looking forward to the possible disruption to my cycle again. And no we are not anti vax or making it up or perimenopausal. It is a not negligible side effect.

My period stopped after my second Moderna - that was April 1. No period at all for me until Thanksgiving Day, so a full 7 months without it. They were like clockwork before so I’m also a little nervous to get the booster now that it’s finally returned.

Mine stopped for about 6 months and then came back.

How about a period that lasts 49 days, half of those day so heavy that you can’t even leave your house? And then subsequent periods last from 10 to 20 days, whereas before the vaccine they were all predictably four days long, like clockwork, for decades. Is that good health or bad health?


What did your doctor say?


“There’s a lot we don’t know yet.”


Well, that is absolutely the truth. What are your risk factors for Covid?

Op,

I think everyone should make their own decision about the booster. You are 30. If you are healthy and at a healthy weight, it might make sense to wait to get the booster shot. I am over 50 and not rushing to get it. It likely kicked up a health problem my husband had been having. Had we understood this risk, he would have gone without the booster. I am not anti vaccine at all. But agree we need people to study the possible side effects.

It's a worthwhile question to investigate. It is well known nanoparticles biodistribute to reproductive organs. It depends of course what type of nanoparticle and the route of administration. You don't have to be a crazy anti-vaxxer to ask legit questions regarding side effects and safety.

This isn't meant to scare people. Clearly the vaccine is safe given the millions of doses that have been administered to both men and women. That doesn't mean additional follow-up isn't warranted.
