Periods changed for long time after Covid....anyone else experienced this?

2 months after catching covid at my own wedding reception my periods went completely to pot. They were brown, scanty and irregular for around 18 months. Then I had a normal one. After that, they went funny again. Only now, 2 and a half years after my initial infection do they seem to be trying to return to normal. I'm nearly 43 and this started when I was 40! Has anyone else had any similar experiences?

put up with for years before realising fibroid that take up in the womb love to create blood clots and pulmonary embolisms but let’s not worry about an insufficient thing like that.

i knew my cold was covid before testing bc my period arrived out of the blue. Same thing happened to me after the jabs as well. ChatGPT says it’s a known side effect as it’s linked to our immune system. Hope you’re feeling better op ❤️
