My periods are all over the place since vaccine

It's been 8 weeks since the first vaccine. I've come on 4x really heavy and have had one off days of light bleeding. My hormones are all over the place. I'm either happy, depressed or extremely emotional. I've got a GP appointment booked for Thursday.

I didn't turn up for my second vaccine. I have spent the last week in bed with zero energy. I want to be more protected against covid but I'm scared of what it's already done to me.

Has anyone else had this and what did you do to get better? I'm fed up of feeling like this.

I'm 36 and already have crazy heavy periods which I'm on medication for. My GP advised me not to get the vaccine because of its side effects on the menstrual system. So far I've not gotten it, it's just not worth it to me to chance my periods getting any worse.

I wouldn't get the 2nd one if I were you until you see your GP and see what they say about it

Same, although I’ve had both.

At first they were fine and now are coming every two and a half weeks. I really hope it settles down as want to try for a baby next year Sad

I'm worried that I've completely messed myself up by having the vaccine. I had 5 day periods every 28 days and they were mostly medium, sometimes they were heavy on the first day. I'm now taking my dms codeines (only for a day or two, not over 3 or more days) just to ease the pain. I came on a week ago for two days, then a random day and now today I feel like I'm coming on again. I'm also a raging irritable bitch with dc and dh. Argh I want to cry.

Horrible isn't it @Magicalwoodlands

I also read about the effects on menstrual cycle and felt it would be fine after a month or two. It's not fine and it's getting worse.

My periods have been lasting much longer. I would usually start my flow pretty quickly and it would be over in 4 days. I’m finding now after vaccines they start very slowly and last 8 days. Also more painful.

I'm on the depo so don't get bleeding. I have had awful period pains that last for hours over a few weeks. I'm also exhausted since having my booster, so exhausted!
