Vaccinated women TMI thread

[dez1978]

I had an ablation 5 years ago due to super long periods. So every now and then I might spot just a bit but thats it. After the 2nd dose of Moderna I had 4 days of light bleeding, then a week with none, and then another couple of days of bleeding.

 

[mrs. magoo]

I had no period in February and then spotted for 2 weeks in March until I had a very heavy period in March that lasted 10 days. I had 2 weeks off and then another very heavy period in April, to the point that I was afraid to leave the house. I got mine in May a couple of days early and it was slightly heavier but nothing like March and April. I am 49 and I chalked it up to my age and menopause. I hope things will be back to normal for me from here on out.

I had J&J back in March - no issues or changes in my cycle.

 

[igrsod]

I have noticed no difference to be honest.

Moderna here - got my period 5 days earlier. After 2 months it seems to have sorted itself out - it kept coming early for those 2 cycles. Previously every 28 days.

I'm a man so this isn't my forum at all. But typically, couldn't any type of flu/illness(where your immune system would kick in) potentially cause a change? The vaccine causes a heightened reaction to your immune system(as if you were sick).....

I got Moderna. I'm close to perimenopause so that could explain it for me. Prior to the vaccine my cycles would range with 35-50 days, and will have what I've termed a phantom period (bloating, cramps, etc) at the "normal" time at 28 days. After my second shot in March, it was early for me at the normal 28 day cycle. I haven't had one since though and it's going on 70+; and without the phantom symptoms still

My period has been pretty much as expected. I'm 40 and received my second dose of Pfizer in March.

I can only speak for me, but I have never in my menstruating years had an illness cause a change in my cycle. Not even the covid virus itself caused a change.

Same here. I know someone with cancer who did have their period messed up after taking chemo. That's about it.

 

[TeresaBelle]

I was fully vaccinated via Moderna a few months ago, and my period has been completely unaffected.

Pfizer for me, but same.

 

[MamaMermaid]

I got Pfizer... my period after the 2nd dose came super early for me (normally my cycles are super long)... we will see what happens this next round!

 

[Jnjtrio]

Perimenopause for me so my periods are no where near regular for a couple of years now. I did get a period in between my 1st and second shot of Pfizer, it was lighter than previous ones but that has been a trend for the last few. It was about 3.5 months since the one previous so I thought nothing of it. I will say I am really glad they are getting lighter, there was definitely some heavier days when I started skipping periods in the beginning of this lovely process.

 

[zeferjen]

Moderna here and no change at all in periods. Had the second vaccine mid February

 

[pineapplepalms]

No change for me, but I haven’t had my period in over a year due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. I got the J&J vaccine.

 

[bjscheel]

Has anyone who has had changes, had the J&J vaccine? I noted that all who mentioned which vaccine, said Moderna or Pfizer but some didn't say. Curious about if there is a difference.

 

[disneychrista]

I just started my second period in 3 weeks, after only have 2 periods since November. Is it age? Is the the vaccine? Who knows.

Has your period returned to what’s considered normal for you?

 

[jrnunzio3]

I have been in menopause for 3+ years. Got my 1st Pfizer shot and the next day started to spot and the following day had very bad cramps and heavy spotting but not quite a full blown period. This lasted about 5 days. 2nd shot, no issues at all. I truly believe that this was related to the vaccine.

 

[MrsJackSparrow4Life]

My period last month was weird (1 week light spotting, 1 week regular period) but I have been fully vaccinated since January so I doubt the vaccine had anything to do with it. I’m assuming age and/or stress is the culprit.
