Late period and astrazeneca vaccine

43 replies

I was on my period when I had the AZ vaccination last month. Period now almost a week late, I'm normally like clockwork, no weight loss/gain etc and not pregnant. I'm 31. Could this be related? I had quite a bad reaction - chills, fever, swears, nausea and felt rough for 3 days.

This has been mentioned a few times now. Report it.

I suspect it will occur more as more women of reproductive age are vaccinated.

It puts me off getting the vaccine considering I have had covid and I am fine. I also have a history of gynae issues.

I have attached screenshot of the pfzier and AZ reported menstrual issues. Obviously there has been no causal link yet.

Thank you. I had no idea it could cause delayed periods, only read about them coming early. Will report.

I also have had the vaccine (AZ) and I am late too. Definitely no other reason.

TheWristBoundLatexBitch · 23/03/2021 15:53

There is another thread on this I commented on today. It's definitely a thing. I am now three weeks late

rosetylersbiggun · 23/03/2021 16:36

God same! Got jabbed on Friday and am now three days late.

Leigh1975 · 23/03/2021 17:27

I also had the same vaccine and had an early period like two weeks early . I am always really regular

I’m three weeks late after having the Astra Zeneca vaccine!

Freyaismyname · 18/04/2021 02:02

I had my vaccine middle of March, I completely missed a period. I was late this month again, but did come on VERY heavy this evening

danadas · 18/04/2021 02:06

Yes I am 37 and skipped a period for the first time ever (apart from pregnancies) after my vaccine. Didnt realise it was a thing, knew I wasnt pregnant and so had convinced myself it was all sorts of awful things! Next one came bang on time and all well since then.

Angel19883427 · 18/04/2021 22:36

Hi, did you start your periods after a week? I am now delayed too by a week. I have never been late and definitely not pregnant. I had bad stomach ache and nausea after the AstraZeneca 3 weeks ago. Any advice is helpful thank you

VashtaNerada · 18/04/2021 22:38

I had two weeks of bleeding mid-cycle! Are you meant to report side effects after a jab somewhere?

Hophop26 · 18/04/2021 23:17

I had my 1st dose AZ mid February, 2 months on and no period... not pregnant and not aware of anything it could be and I’ve never missed a period other than pregnancies

Angel19883427 · 18/04/2021 23:50

Have you been to docs and have they said how they can fix this?

Angel19883427 · 18/04/2021 23:51

I have just reported it on MHRA. I can’t believe We are having this vaccine when it hasn’t been studied enough.

Some of us aren't and we are labelled anti vaxxers, conspiracy theorists and called stupid.

Can't win.

Leigh1975 · 19/04/2021 12:14

I've decided I'm not having my second dose of the astral zennica

Angel19883427 · 19/04/2021 17:08

Iv just been to my docs and he’s just mentioned to me I can ask for 2nd dose of Pfizer instead as I have had strong reactions to AstraZeneca. Might be worth speaking to your GP for those still waiting to have dose 2.

marmaduke888 · 19/04/2021 17:30

11 days early for me

Angel19883427 · 23/04/2021 10:45

Has anyone that’s late started? I’m now 9 days late in pain but no sign of period. Please can someone respond that has been late? My anxiety levels are hitting the roof Sad

Leigh1975 · 23/04/2021 11:15

I started about 4 days later but had a very light period

Angel19883427 · 23/04/2021 13:46

So glad I’ve seen this thread as I am also a week late after having my Astra jab!! So glad I’m not the only one suffering!! All my usual P symptoms but nothing! I’ve even done 3 Ptest so far (all negative) and praying for it to appear any day now!!

Fruityfriday · 26/04/2021 17:43

I'm 8 days late, not had sex for 9 yrs so it must be the jab.

GreatestSh0wUnicorn · 26/04/2021 17:44

Yes it seems all vaccines can effect periods mine was late and hideously awful.

DeclineandFall · 26/04/2021 17:56

I was 2 weeks late after I got covid ( mildly). But on time after my AZ jab, even though the side effects from my jab were basically the same symptoms I got from covid but much less.
