How many women of child bearing age have had vaccine?

I'll admit I'm getting myself in a state about vaccines here. I've been reading about changes to menstrual cycle after vaccination and furious that these concerns seem to be brushed off. I've been on one of the gov stats pages that says there have been 20,000 reports of changes to periods out of 41,000,000 women who have been vaccinated. Is there anywhere I can view how many of these 41,000,000 are of period having age?
I'm so worried by reports of people saying they've missed ovulation or haven't had periods after. What if your body just can't get back into a rhythm?! Surely the stress of a vaccine shouldn't cause months of changes? I'm so so close to cancelling first vaccine appointment and don't know what to do. I've never been anti vaccine and I'm surprised at myself. Argh.

Early 30s. Double jabbed. 3 weeks after I had 2nd jab I conceived.

I haven't had the vaccine, but partly because I found out I was pregnant just days before I was offered it. We had put off conceiving for a year already, due to Covid19. Had I not been pregnant I may have had it, but I would have been very worried, due to many close people having 'rare' side effects.

My sister has had messed up cycles after receiving AZ (usually regular). On top of this her husband got Bell's Palsy after his. 2 other people I know have suffered clots and strokes after theirs and are still not right months later.

@doesparentingsuck

Had the had only one about six weeks ago - it made my period arrive early by about five days which never happens.

I haven't had a period since as found out today I'm pregnant! So fingers crossed all goes well but I can't lie and say I'm not worried. Especially given I am suffering from Covid at the minute. It's a worrying time

Ditto. My vaccination brought forward my ovulation date by a considerable amount. It's very much unexpected and to some degree unplanned but by only about 4 months, think I'm still in shock! Good luck with your pregnancy

Child bearing age here. Double jabbed. No change to cycle whatsoever
This for me too.

I’m 43 and had both AZs jabs no problems with periods.

Child bearing age, haven't had the vaccine. I now have 26-28 day cycles since giving birth (35+ before) and I'd rather not mess that up 🤷‍♀️.

sunflowerdaisies · 14/07/2021 15:04

Had both vaccines and no change to cycle at all.

Well first vaccine done, I didn't wimp out thanks to you all! Grin

I am breast feeding and have had both vaccines, my first period after giving birth arrived about a month after my first vaccine. Baby was about 5 months old at the time, my periods have been pretty regular (within a few days) since, and I had my second vaccine with no issues to my period.
