Best time to get the booster vaccine?

[Moonshine160]

I felt really unwell after both vaccinations and they messed up my periods. I still need to book my booster. We’ve been TTC for a few months now and I’d love to avoid it messing up my cycles again this time! What stage of my cycle will be best to have it? Would during my period be best? I think both my previous ones were mid cycle, around ovulation time.

@Moonshine160 hi OP, I’ve had all three of mine on day 1 or 2 of my cycle or right before for my booster and I’ve had none of the problems some women have reported. I haven’t had it other times so can’t report on those, but period days have been fine for me.

Thank you @thislittlebird :) I think I’ll schedule it for when my period starts then. I know it’s important to have it but I also want to keep my cycles as regular as possible to help with the TTC journey.

@Moonshine160 yeah that was my thinking too, although my first was probably just timed conveniently. Mine are easily knocked off kilter and we’re about to start ivf so I can’t risk any spanners in the works.
