No period after Astrazeneca vaccine.

[GlitzAndGlamour26]

I had my vaccine two weeks ago...no period and its been two weeks!Anyone else had a delayed period?

Vaccine made me really ill for a week. Still got my period but it was light and pain free-woooo hoooo! In fact I hadn’t noticed it even started it was that pain free- never happens ever.
Second vaccine just felt tired and period back with a vengeance.

A. I’ve never heard of Salon so not sure it’s a massively valid news source on the matter
B. You need to look up what gaslighting means

When there’s a whole thread of women reporting a specific symptom (disrupted periods) after the AZ vaccine and you waltz in and declare that they’ve always had disrupted periods and it’s not weird at all - that’s gaslighting, love.

My period was late by a week. Seemed to last a bit longer. However, I put it down to significant work stress. Now, I'm not so sure.

I’ve been having periods every 2 weeks since my AZ vaccine

@Terracotta9 I said many women experience disrupted periods every month, not the people on this thread. My point was it might therefore well be coincidental. Because X% of women every month will experience this.

Also it’s quite indicative of your nature to condescendingly use the word ‘love’. Grow up

@GlomOfNit

I got all excited (not sure 'excited' is the right word) because i recently skipped a period and had a 58 day cycle, which, given my peri status, is to be expected. But it was the first time I'd actually missed a period. And I realised I'd had the Pfizer jab before that cycle ended ... checked my diary and my epic cycle ended 7 days after my Pfizer, so it really can't have been related!

This thread makes for very interesting, and sobering, reading though. Actually having Covid seems to screw up your cycles too, and I wonder if this is why the vaccines can do as well? Or could it merely be the being a bit unwell after the jab and your body not wanting to risk a pregnancy? Thinking about it, I can't say that I've ever had a late period following a bad cold or go of 'flu (and 'flu made me ill enough). I'd love to know what the incidences are of women skipping periods or having late ones after various illnesses.

I had pneumonia a couple of years ago and it basically stopped my period. I was feeling ill, period started, got worse and was hospitalised, and I had my mooncup in. I was in a lot of pain in my chest and struggling to bend far enough to get it out - I thought I was going to have to tell the nurse and ask her to get it out for me! In the end I was too embarrassed to ask and managed to get it out myself, but there was hardly anything there. I reverted to pads but it stayed stopped!

@Runway

If your comment about disrupted periods isn’t relevant to the women in this thread then I have to question why you posted it here in the first place.

So what if some women experience irregular cycles?

This is a thread about women who’ve experienced abnormal disrupted cycles after the covid vaccine.

I completely missed a period after my first AZ vaccine. Should be due period again now but so far no period symptoms 🤷
I had no side effects from the vaccine at all.

@Terracotta9 I can’t work out if you’re being deliberately dense about this or not! To simplify the point for understanding...

1. Women on this thread who previously had regular cycles may not have had a regular cycle the month they had the jab.
2. Many women every month have irregular cycles as a one-off
3. Therefore Maybe it’s a coincidence
4. Think about it, If you asked every woman who’s had a jab if their cycle was irregular then probably you’d find it’s no more than usual

It’s the difference between correlation and causation.

Oh this is interesting!
I had jab 10 days ago. Period now 3 days late which is unusual. Have that pelvic pre period uncomfortableness but no bleeding as yet.

@Runway

This thread is women reporting abnormal period disruption after AZ.

Do you have no trust that women can recognise abnormal period disruption?

I’m going to be generous, and assume that you yourself experience irregular cycles, and so you assume all women experience this. This assumption is wrong. Some women have 28-day clockwork cycles with no disruption for decades. I was was one of them, until a covid infection.

I trust that the women posting in this thread are astute enough to recognise an abnormal disruption to their period. I’m not going to respond any more, because I’m just repeating what I posted in my original comment to you.

I had my first dose of az on 6th March. Had about 24 hours of flu like symptoms. Period arrived as normal on15th March. I'm 39 and have a fairly regular cycle of 28 days with the odd month of 21 days or 34 days.

Interesting thread. Hopefully this will be listed formally as a side effect very soon. Could be nerve wracking for women who don’t want to be pregnant, and build false hope for those TTC.

This thread IS beyond scary! I can’t understand people that are happy to inject themselves with an experimental vaccine, I just seriously can’t understand the logic 🤯 especially if you are otherwise healthy. You are not protecting anyone when there is no certainty of immunity or normal life to return from taking it, side effects are just brushed off as coincidental as they always are with vaccines. They are coming for your children in autumn I just hope you all protect them more than yourselves.

Yes I agree @baggyjeans. It's an experimental medical procedure that some scientists would not even call a vaccine. It uses genes, which alter every protein in the body.

There is no way I will be allowing my children to have it. Hell will freeze over first.

Those involved in all stages 3 trials were given the main potential symptoms which could be graded. Any unlisted symptoms.
I think Pfizer said of the volunteers on all 3 levels no menstrual issues were listed.
MN must be a special place.

I was very unwell for a week and was then in a coma for two weeks many years ago. The nurses filled out a diary after each shift. One of them mentioned that I had my period and that she had freshened me up and requested pain relief for me in case I was in pain - it was the only entry which mentioned it and some of the nurses were male names! I was actually really distressed reading that. So you can definitely be very ill and have a period. Anything that fucks with normal female function worries me a bit. Men of course won't care. I doubt Chris Whitty cares. He's a man. What would he actually really know? Women are quite capable of knowing when something is unusual for them. If it's the first unusual event in 5 years and you've just had either covid or the vaccine, then yes, there clearly is a possible link. To gaslight us all into not worrying about it is irresponsible. Put it this way, my children will NOT be getting the vaccine. Whether I'm putting them at more risk from covid or the vaccine is too hard for me to properly evaluate yet.

This thread title refers to AZ vaccine, not Pfizer.

It's fine it if simply delays a period for a month, or even two. But do we know yet? If it's messing with ovulation, what else is it doing? I don't like it. I don't like the sound of this at all.

A vaccine which potentially affects ovulation suggests that it has some impact on hormone function. Maybe it's just temporary like the other side effects, but it's not around long enough for us to know.

For balance, in case I'm seen as an anti-vaxxer, COVID has been linked to stillbirths in late pregnancy. So I genuinely don't know which is the lesser evil. To disallow discussion is irresponsible and scaremongering. Let us talk about it. Suppressing discussion breeds fear as people fear a cover-up. I know that people can start wondering after reading leaflets about side effects whether they have every side effect listed, so that's not entirely beneficial either, but to gaslight women on this thread is unfair.

@baggyjeans 100% agree. I am just shocked at the whole vaccine situation. Yes, it's clearly a huge benefit for some people who would certainly succumb to covid. But if it doesnt prevent transmittion or you contracting it then why the hell are perfectly healthy people so willing to take it? 🤯 I also work in a hospital that was full of covid a month back and you'd be surprised at how many Drs and nurses have declined the vaccine. It's very very scary. And I am no anti-vaxxer by any means. All my children are up to date with immunisation.

There’s clear evidence by now that it significantly reduces transmission (like the vast majority of vaccines in general)...

Re: frontline healthcare workers; more than 98% in regions like the North East and South West have had a first dose, so uptake in general is incredibly high.

If you're past the reproductive age and female, if you're elderly and female, or if you're male, it might be fine. I'm not convinced that women who may wish to reproduce in the future are fully safe in taking this. I'm not going to apologise for saying that either. I just don't see why a healthy young female should take the vaccine when it might fuck with her reproductive system. We don't know just how much yet, but this thread would suggest that it has at least had an effect on some women's periods.
