Did the COVID vaccination affect your cycle?

Hi ladies, I’m in a bit of a dilemma of to boost or not to boost and I am wondering if anyone else has had difficulties with their cycle after the vaccination?

I had my 2nd vaccine 5 months ago and have not had a normal cycle since. I was regular 32 days with med-heavy bleeding normally.

Cycle 1 - 45 days +15 than normal, heavier bleeding
Cycle 2 - 42 days +12 than normal, heavier bleeding
Cycle 3 - 43 days +13 than normal, heavier bleeding
Cycle 4 - 29 days light spotting no ‘period’, never had this in my life
Went to the drs here and he found an ovarian cyst. Had an internal scan (sorry don’t know the name) nothing else of concern.
Cycle 5 - extremely heavy bleeding, clotting through my tampon. Faint and dizzy. Also never had this much blood in my life.
Cycle 6 - my current cycle, unusual white creamy watery discharge (sorry tmi) throughout my whole cycle, no ewcm which I usually have.

I’m just at a loss now, I want to be safe and protect others but I’m so scared it has affected my body and I want to get pregnant.

Thank you for your responses. It’s really good to hear I’m not alone. I think I’m siding on not getting the booster for now and I hope things go back to normal soon and we all get our BFPs 🤞🏻

Not a problem for me, but ever since my first jab my period has arrived a day later than it used to. Jasmine pill, AZ x2 and booster.
I told my doctor/vaccinator and she had not heard similar from any other patients. Even though I've read numerous reports of cycle disruption, on here and elsewhere.

It's effected me too. For about 4/5 cycles. I've decided not to boost either. I'm in early pregnancy (a natural after ivf to conceive our DS) and I don't want booster for that reason.

Yeah for maybe 1 or 2 cycles. I had a coil in at the time so was difficult to assess. But I think was only the 1st vaccine and booster, booster delayed ovulation so my cycle was a few days longer. Actually getting covid did the exact same thing though

I also haven’t had a normal cycle since my second vaccination, I’ve decided I’m not getting my booster as I don’t want it to further affect anything for me, sounds selfish but at this point I’m not even that bothered x
