Anyone with a delayed/late/lighter periods after vaccine?

I'm 49 and perimenopausal but since I've had the pfizer back in feb my periods have been later and later every month and quite light. Also my PMT migraines have been worse. I'm normally like clockwork, every 28 days but the last 3 months they've been at 33, 31, and this month its been 35 days and still counting! I feel horribly bloated and just want my period to come!

Could it be the vaccine doing this? Or menopause? My periods are usually very reliable and if anything they are often early. Anyone else having periods further apart after the jab?

I did a preg test today because I just wasn't sure what's going on, but i'm not. Do I need to see a doctor about this?

Yes - I'm the same age and also had the Pfizer jab. First time round period was 1 week late, very bloated but then a light flow. Second time round, 1 week early and a light flow. Now about 10 days after the second jab and my hormones are starting to feel normal again.

Only had one cycle since my Pfizer jab but yes I was a few days late (normally very reliable cycle) and pretty bloated before I came on.

Oh that's so weird, I hope it's just a temporary blip. It's making me anxious!

No change for me. I'm 50 and had AZ

Aren't their studies going on to see if the vaccines affect periods? I'm sure I read about it probably months ago now when it was first reported and at one time there were loads of threads on here about

I don't know it those studies are still on-going, have you tried Google to find out the results?

I had Pfizer in Jan and April. Late in Feb, march and may

I had Pfizer and was “on time” a week later. Was the lightest it’s ever been though, just 1 1/2 days. I’m 38 and usually lasts 3-4 days.

I had my Pfizer vaccine two Sundays ago, my period came on the Wednesday, it was quite heavy (but I have copper coil so this is normal) I did have a horrific pain around 2am on Friday though, it was so bad I almost fainted.

My normal cycle 28-31 days clockwork, day 53 and still no period-bloating and swollen though

Theonlyoneiknow · 15/06/2021 00:01

Had Pfizer in April - no period since March (am perimenopausal but this is the longest to date)

Nearly 46 and suspect peri.

Had my second Pfizer 4 weeks ago, a day or two before I was due on.

Period was lighter and more stop/start than usual.

Will find out in the next few days if there are any further issues.
