I suggest you look up Dr. Jen Gunter on your favourite social media site. She’s said many times that your period being affected by the vaccine is bs.

Yes, that’s what I read too. I think it’s certainly possible for your menstrual cycle to be affected by the vaccine. Your hormones may be affected by stress, so if you are anxious about the vaccine and/or find it to be a stress release to be safe from COVID, that could affect things. Also, during the luteal phase of your cycle your immune system is suppressed. If you receive the vaccine during your luteal cycle and it causes a strong immune reaction, maybe it would change the length of your luteal phase and then affect your overall cycle length.Your period can be affected by many things. So the vaccine affecting your period because OF the vaccine may be BS. But if you are nervous or stressed about the vaccine it may affect your period. Heck the stress of the pandemic itself may have affected some woman's periods.

That’s my concern as well.The more concerning question to me is not if the vaccine is changing women’s menstrual cycles, but if it is causing any type of permanent change…
Initially I was more like it's really hard to tell. My cycles never changed from their normal during the pandemic, a time of high stress so I can't just easily explain it by stress even though cycles can be very much affected by them. I was on mine when I got the second dose. It lasted 9 days (normal 5-7). 8 days after stopping I started again with a 5-day one. My original next one was supposed to be May 17th, my tracker changed that to June 2nd, but today I started again (a few days early just like my first one that I was on when I got the second dose was). I would have chalked it up to stress but it just doesn't happen to me to have a period 8 days after stopping. I'm guessing mine was a one-time disruption but am tracking it for my own purposes.I suggest you look up Dr. Jen Gunter on your favourite social media site.

I haven’t looked her up, but I think it absolutely can be. It’s an immune response, so not unlikely. Also menstrual cycles can be affected by so many things - age, stress, medication, weight, etc. Why couldn’t this.I suggest you look up Dr. Jen Gunter on your favourite social media site.

I hadn't had a period in 6+ months, but it returned a month after my second dose of Moderna. Who knows if it's just a coincidence or a side effect of the vaccine, though.
A couple of researchers are conducting a survey study about it:
I also hadn't had a period in 6 months and got one between doses of Pfizer. Like a week after my 1st dose and before 2nd. I am almost 48.
Interesting thread. I was wondering if it was related.
What an incredibly dismissive physician. I would not trust this woman to be my doctor.I suggest you look up Dr. Jen Gunter on your favourite social media site. She’s said many times that your period being affected by the vaccine is bs.
That it’s an immune response. Along the same lines why some women experienced swollen lymph nodes. These things aren’t uncommon with vaccines, but we’re hearing about it because it’s a happening to us all at once and because part of this current process is looking for side effects.This is interesting. I had no menstrual changes after the Moderna shots, but I am curious about why it would impact that for some women and what the current theories are regarding this -
Just hoping we don’t all regret getting this dang shot eventually, but I do want to trust the science. Either way I’m vaccinated with no ill effects so far and there’s no undoing it anyway.
Agree fully!That it’s an immune response. .... Actual Covid can also lead to these same responses and a whole host of other problems. Also, there are plenty of things that alter menstrual cycles, that we don’t even blink an eye at.
