I was wondering if anyone else is noticing differences in their cycle after having COVID-19?
I probably had it (not tested but pretty sure) nearly 4 weeks ago. I’m recovered but still finding I have random muscle cramps, mostly in my legs but occasionally in my back or neck or even around my rib cage. Anyone else experienced this following potential infection? My chest also still crackles like static in the evening but I guess that’s to be expected.
The strangest thing is my menstrual cycle, I was due a period the week or so following infection and I did have a small bleed, but it was more like spotting and lasted 48 hours. Not usual for me. Yesterday 12 days after that bleed I started spotting again with cramps, but it seems to have stopped already*.
Just curious really if anyone else has noticed similar and whether it could be an after effect of having the virus?
*definitely not pregnant, I have a mirena coil and most importantly haven’t had sex within the time frame for pregnancy.
