Anyone else had changes to their cycle after the covid jab and want to compare notes?

I had the Pfizer on Day 8 of my cycle and currently 2 days late (BFN this morning so apparently not pregnant).

Anyone else?

I had 1st AZ back in feb, mid 30's, missed next period that was due then 2 heavy periods close together. Iv had the lightest period ever this month so very strange.

2 months late after Astra Z but I'm on the coil

Moderna - period at normal time, but the hugest clot(s) I have ever seen. Like, monster.

My period was a week late after AZ. Returned to normal cycle afterwards. Just had second dose so I'll see if it's affected again. I'm early 40s.

1st AZ - period came early and was very very heavy

Side effects like this should be reported to the government's yellow card scheme

This is very interesting. It seems to be a really common phenomenon with all 3 vaccines. (I use the pill to prevent me having periods at all and had no menstrual side effects from my 2 AZs but many of my female friends are reporting them.)

I've had 2 Pfizer vaccine. My last 3 periods have been really heavy, soaked through trousers and clots. Never experienced periods like that before.

Yes and I urge you to report it as then the issue can be investigated as a whole.

My periods have been light and short but the one after the AZ vaccine was massively heavy, I was changing both an extra size tampon and night pad every two hours for 2 days. I ended up on tranaexamic acid tablets to help control the bleeding on the third day.

I’ll get the link to report and post back

Yes! A week after jab I came on a week early and it was incredibly painful. I passed a clot which filled my menstrual cup

2 AZ jabs. On Yasmin. No changes.

12 days late after AZ 1st jab, then barely a bleed since, all oddly light.
I'm 7 days late at the moment after my 2nd AZ jab. Beginning to wish there was a button you could press to just flush it all out. I feel so heavy!

I am in perimenopause anyway, but reported to the yellow card scheme because it was weird to be so late, even for me.

AZ both jabs, period around 4 days after each one no matter where I was in my cycle. Didn't think it was out of the ordinary since our reproductive system is joined to our immune system.

This is interesting. Had the Pfizer vaccine 3 weeks ago and im 2 days late. Almost certain I'm not pregnant. I came off the pill after I had dd last year and since my periods returned a few months ago I've been like clockwork.

I had AZ, no issues after 1st or 2nd

did you notice if you ovulate later?

I had Pfizer on D2 of my cycle and it halted it overnight, usually about 4 days long. I've had 3 normal cycles since then so I'm personally not concerned but found it interesting.

I’ve missed two periods since first AZ jab.,

Yep. Just had first period after AZ jab. I don’t track them but I am sure it was surprisingly early, and it was very, very short.

I wouldn’t be able to tell as mine are irregular and all over the place. Fully vaccinated since my last one so will keep and eye out for any changes.

Crazy heavy and early too. Hope you're ok.

Reported it to the Yellow Card thing - thanks to those who shared the link. Important that information like this is recorded.

Had first Moderna jab mid-April while I had my period. Got my next period a month later and bled for 20 out of the next 30 days. The heaviest period I’ve ever had - last week I filled 4 moon cups per day and the most horrific clots. Next jab 6 July so will be bracing myself for the next couple of months.

I'm breastfeeding 9 month old DD and have had no change to my periods since my first Astra Zeneca jab 9 weeks ago. Still like clockwork. I have my second one on Tuesday next week.
