Me too. I had incredibly heavy bleeding following both shots, especially the first. It was like a massacre
Did those people have anything in common?
WOMEN EXPERIENCED THIS. EVERY LAST ONE WAS A WOMAN
What about the people like me who had menstrual changes after my roommates got vaccinated. Still having the issues. No vax for me until I know more
1000's of Women
There is no proof & menstrual cycles are impossible to study short term with many x factors. Saying anything at this point is irresponsible,why rumors & speculation on Covid? Just take the damn vaccine so you dont end up dead-then you wont need to worry about menstrual cycles!
Mine was right on time, but much LESS painful than usual after the first shot. I was so happy. It was completely normal after the 2nd one though, and every one since then.
In a real trial this would have been known before giving it to millions of people. Science!
Finally, some truth from NPR
My sister had not had a period for a couple yrs. She got the vaccine and now she's on a monthly cycle
You can't tellme it effects a menstrual cycle bit not fertility. Y'all know those go together right! ? 😂
I can’t believe the non-concern and blowing off these side effects I see in comments from some women. I for one find the change in menstruation and the Pfizer Boob Job very concerning. These are not normal side effects & what is the long term impact. pfizer
JenRogersPhD; we were just talking about this
My cycle is already fucked up from hyperthyroidism, not trying to fuck up my body more
I had COVID pretty bad in April of 2020 and didn't have a period for 6 months after. Back to normal now, but I do believe there is some sort of correlation.
They barely had time to conduct a valid study.
Maybe there is a link between the immune system and the Menstrual hormones … interested to see what research shows.
Do they contain fetal abortion cells? They sure do
An unlisted coincidence, thousands of people saw menstruation changes 2 years ago, before covid19 came around. An unfortunate side-effect, lack of understanding of women's health concepts leads people to reach questionable conclusions regarding common phenomena.
yall realize that stress and eating disorders can cause infertility and menstrual cycle changes too matter effect before my first dose my menstrual cycle was completely fucked
But they want you to “trust the science”
They can't know the effects without long term studies. Just be honest and say it's unknown!
After being on birth control I didn’t have a Period for YEARS. That is not feel OK but everyone acts like it is. No impact to my cycle bc of the vaccine.
I'm just glad I had two kids already. Lord have mercy on us.
Menstruation and fertility are kinda related? I mean to say there is issues with one and not the other may be extremely irresponsible this early in the game.
Shouldn’t responses on Twitter be taken with a grain of salt, like a Yelp review? There are people paid to mislead and spread misinformation. Real studies are not Twitter poles.
My periods became abnormal after I got the second Pfizer shot in April. So far they've been normal for the last two months. Hopefully it's back to normal for good.
These guys are crazy with the vaccines
Another reason why long term tests of vaccines are done. But hey let's pump one out in less then a year b/c the tech has been around for decades it should be good.
Things that can change your menstrual cycle: stress, overactive thyroid, changes in medication, changes in eating habits, too much exercise, being overweight, being underweight... Hit me up when someone's uterus falls out after taking the vaccine.
winky99 This explains a lot I think...
So they don't know why or how it affects menstruation, yet they somehow know it doesn't affect fertility? Right 👍. Iv noticed it takes about two months or so for the conspiracies to become the facts.
I got the J&J vax. Period started 2 weeks early. Ran for a few days. Then I got my period again, on time just after the other one had stopped. Never happened before in my life. Def from the vax. It started the next day.
Bled so much i needed transfusions. Might need a hysterectomy if the random bleeding won't stop. Id say that effects my fertility!
Makes a scary amount of sense my wife hasn't had a period in almost 3 months ever since she got the vaccine. Now I know why
Three days after my second shot (6/21), I got a very heavy period. I'm post-menopausal, and my last period was in May 2018. Knowing this was a possible side effect wouldn't have changed my decision to get the vax. I'm just glad it's being discussed.
Take the jab first, then we will tell you what problems we find researching it. Makes sense to me. 🙄
Super weird thing happened to my mother in law. She’s in her 70s and the inner lining of her uterus thickened to the point where the doc said she could get a period after getting the vaccine. Doc thinks it’s from the vax but we aren’t sure
But there is some links to Covid and estrogen as well.
Definitely had a 10 day period right after the Vaccine (usually around 4). But went back to normal the next period.
My period is a little different every month. I would have no idea if it was a vaccine or just me being me.
I’ve got PCOS and that when getting vaccinated don’t mix well at all.
Menstrual health should be a part of the vetting process already. Changes in pain, heaviness, etc - those symptoms should be monitored in all vaccine/drug trials. Especially for people with endometriosis, I can see why the vaccine could cause a flare.
Mine came early, just came down the same day I got the vaccine each time. I am not against the vaccine but no one told me that it affected my cycle!
This is really borderline laughable. An association isn't necessarily cause and effect. Stress also affects menstruation, as does the simple process of getting older. That doesn't mean the vaccine caused. YOU ARE MAKING PEOPLE MORE VACCINE RESISTANT BY PUBLISHING THIS CRAP!
The reality is that these changes most likely would have occurred without the vaccine because these are the odds-but folks have to find blame in a situation that is fueled by the media and a politically fueled environment.
If you die from covid....no more periods.
In Ukraine there are around 100 women who are complaining that they got pregnant after the vaccine, that it suppressed the antipregnancy drugs. So who knows.
You know what would be a great way to find out more information? Allow all Americans access to healthcare. Enroll every uninsured American in Medicare so we can see doctors & discuss whether we’ve had bodily changes since being vaccinated. MedicareForAll HealthcareIsAHumanRight
For the love of God! My gramma told me not to swim with my period cuz it’d stop the flow. Everything effects the 28 day cycle.
Maybe they SHOULD conduct trials so there IS evidence, instead of saying ‘absolutely no evidence’, which is a play on words. Stop implying that’s it’s safe when there’s no data to prove it so. It’s like the marketing strategy is ‘prove it isn’t safe!Here’s your proof right here.
I'm immediately suspicious of any headline that ends with a question mark.
“ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE “ means it’s never been tested - not that it’s safe. That’s a very misleading statement that people often interpret to mean it’s ok to use. The reality is,there is NO scientific evidence that’s EVER been conducted in the first place. Loop hole statement
Mine was the first month after but now it’s back on track
It's not good enough to say 'medical experts'... we want to know who, specifically, and how they are funded.
Im convinced the vaccine made me more fertile. lol. I had two miscarriages before my rainbow and now a my husband’s pull out game is wack baby growing in me now.
