My Period Changed After The COVID-19 Vaccine: 8 Women Share

the last shot for a more accurate reading. This is due to the enlargement of lymph nodes from the vaccine; and it takes some time for the swelling to go down.

I received the Pfizer vaccine and about two hours after my first shot, I had a shooting headache stabbing from the top of my head down through my neck with hot flashes throughout the day. For birth control, I’ve been on Depo-Provera and haven’t had a period in over a year, which is why I was surprised to get my period in the hours following my first vaccine. That evening, the hot flashes stopped, and I couldn’t seem to get warm even buried under two Sherpa blankets.

I did mention to my specialist that I’d received the vaccine recently , but she insisted that it’s unlikely related, although extremely coincidental. I guess we’ll only really know for sure after I get that pap smear and if more women who’ve experienced something similar to me come forward.After getting the first dose of the AstraZeneca shot, I went through the usual symptoms of extreme hunger, tiredness, lethargy, and a mild fever.

I was two days into my period when I got my first shot and there was no change to the severity of my cramps, flow, or duration. But two weeks later, with no lead up signs, I started another cycle. Sometimes I have dark brown spotting between cycles, but this was a full period and lasted my usual five to six days.

Although I knew from family and friends who had gotten the vaccine before me that I may experience side effects, what I didn’t know was how intense the side effects would be. So I made sure to set aside the day of the appointment and the following day as a day of rest. I stayed home, so that if I was feeling fine one minute and unwell the next, I wouldn’t be caught anywhere not feeling well.
