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?

@Runway

I didn’t say this are technologies which have never been used, I said they have never been rolled out across whole populations before, which is true.

You did say All of these are new vaccine technologies We lack long term safety data about any of them

Pointing out this is untrue

They ARE new vaccine technologies.

For example, the zika and Ebola vaccines you mention were literally created a few years ago, compared to something like the polio vaccine which dates back to the 1950s, with earlier experimental versions dating back to the 1930s.

I thought I'd add my own experience to this thread. I had my first AZ vaccine on 31st March; had moderate side-effects (fever, chills, aching, headache, dizziness) for about 36 hours afterwards; and today my period started over a week early, which has not happened before. I've Yellowcarded it.

Life expectancy in the UK in the 1950s was 65, by 2020 it was 78 for men and 83 for women. You can roll with the amazing advancements in medical science or not, vaccines are a choice.

What’s life expectancy got to do with anything?

Sure, vaccines play a role in improved life expectancy, but so does improved nutrition, sanitation, switching from coal fires, and a whole host of other social advancements.

Mine was a week early and very painful after AZ

Smoking is a huge factor in this I believe.

Mine arrived on time, I usually have heavy periods anyway but I noticed it was much heavier than usual for a few days and I felt a bit worse for wear compared to normal, I’m due in a couple of days so will see how it is this time..

Three percent of children dying in their first year would have brought the average down in 1950. Covid deaths are highest in the elderly. I don't think the Covid vaccine will do anything to improve life expectancy.

@kowari - UK life expectancy reduced by a year last year, only from covid deaths last year. It'll reduce further this year, then there's the impact of long covid on reducing life expectancy. So yes, vaccines will have an impact.

mRNA vaccines are a spectacular scientific achievement that will be up there with the discovery of penicillin. Nobel prizes will almost certainly be dished out.

[quote diddlediddle]@Therewereroses yes I completely believe you that your cycle stopped - I've never said I didn't? I believe everyone's account. I merely said that the underlying reason for it (post virus or post vaccine) is most likely to be relatively benign. And that when people are quick to jump to more complicated and malign reasons it suggests that they haven't fully understood the basics.[/quote]
How can you confidently say that the underlying reason for changes to all these women's menstrual cycles on this thread is likely to be relatively benign? Who are you? To quote the lovely Nikki Graham (RIP).

Who is she?

Who is she?

I'm as enraged as Nikki was when she was asking that question.

I do not appreciate being spoken to like an idiot.

Here's a medal for the most spectacularly tone deaf post of the thread. Women are concerned and you want to talk about Nobel prizes?

Oh forgot your medal. First prize

Women are concerned and, in the process, are talking about the merits (or otherwise) of new vaccines technologies. Don’t be so obtuse.

I'm so glad to have found this thread. Had AZ vaccine the week after my period. The following week I started spotting then after a few days flooding. Still flooding a week later. Periods normally bang on time and nothing like this. Had thought hey ho perimenopause is here but looks like it could be vaccine related.

I merely said that the underlying reason for it (post virus or post vaccine) is most likely to be relatively benign.

Well I hope you're right but I have a dreadful feeling that we will uncover more as this vaccine becomes available to more women of 'childbearing age'.

@Therewereroses I said likely not definitely. It's the more likely explanation. Because it's the simpler explanation. That's all I said.

You have misread every single one of my posts. I have been very clear. Your anger (at who and what? It's not really me) is clouding your comprehension...

I'm just over 2 weeks on from the AZ and my period has just arrived early.

I'll yellow card it but I doubt anyone will give a fuck as it's only women's problems after all.

This is really odd, so after my Pfizer jag in Dec I had my regular period 2 days later, but my next period was 36 days later, I'm usually day 25/26. After second jag in Feb, again period 2 days later as expected, but my next period was only 22 days later. Never even thought it cld be connected till now. How strange.

The thing is, period irregularity could well be menopause related, who knows if there's a connection? There would need to be a proper large scale study to tease it out.

I think that's the problem, isn't it? Because younger women are generally not being vaccinated in such large numbers right now, it's easy to say it could be menopause-related. However, if it isn't and there is some correlation between the jab and the disruption of menstrual cycles, then it will be worth trying to understand whether the disruption is temporary or more far-reaching than that.

Just to add my experience, I had my AZ vaccine on Friday and my period started today as normal.

I’m not near general menopause age and for me it’s not menopause so there are some of us where it’s definitely not that

[quote MRex]Strong immune responses to viruses or vaccines can have a temporary impact on periods for some people, but it's just temporary. Scientific review says there's no evidence any fertility impact:

One late period is not infertility, nor similar to it.

Did anyone read the BMJ article? I'll post it again.
