To not know where to turn about vaccine fears?

[WaxedNotVaxed]

I've started a new job in the NHS, I'm patient facing and there is pressure being put on for me to get the covid vaccine as soon as possible.

My fears are that I have PCOS and have always struggled with my periods and my cycles used to be 100+ days. Since having a baby a few years ago I have a 29 day cycle and I don't want to mess with this?

I'm scared about the vaccine making me infertile? Or having long term impacts on my reproductive health? It's scary enough with PCOS and I definitely want another child.

I'm overall just a bit skeptical as a 26 year old woman who wants more kids and has PCOS to get a vaccine without long term studies for a virus id likely only be mildly ill from?

I can't say this at work but I feel really anxious over it

the ativax label only gets thrown when people display their decision to not have it or or be against based on lies and or totally ridiculous made up iinfo they parrot from unreliable sources. Not if they came with genuine reasoned and rational concerns which hadn't previously been evidenced to be wrong.

If you are serious about understanding how the vaccine works, please talk to your healthcare provider. No vaccines have "long term" studies, as that's not how vaccines work and your HCP can talk through the science and research. Please do not rely on the internet for health advice, as well intentioned may not know the difference between causation and coincidence. In terms of the job, the day will come that COVID will become mandatory for frontline workers, so if you don't want to have it, then consider a role with an alternative organisation.

Wait it out 6 months and everyone will start realising that you can't vacinnate effectively against a mutating virus. This isn't small pox. The flu vacinne doesn't work death rates have gone up not down since we started using it. Why would the covid vacinne be any different. They are not even trying to pretend anymore that having the vacinne stops you getting or passing on Covid. This is big pharma at its worst.

Why do you think we currently aren’t in lockdown ? Because the vaccine is preventing thousands of hospitalisations and deaths!!

[quote JanetPondersley]@BoPeeple The fertility stories started before the period disruption was reported.

And, it's curious (and I do mean curious, as in interesting, not sarcastically) that the period disruption is reported for both types of vaccine - the viral vector and the mRNA, which have very different methods of how they work in the body. Period disruption is also a reported symptom of covid.[/quote]
Because many illnesses and vaccines cause cycle disruption ! Your cycle is linked to your immune system !!! Ofc it’s gonna affect it

I’ve just returned to this thread as Dr Natalie Crawford (an American obstetrician) has created some you tube content to outline the evidence in an accessible way around Covid vaccination & fertility treatments:
