Is there a relationship between COVID-19 vaccines and menstrual cycles?

Answers to your COVID-19 questions from Dr. Jen Ashton.

See so many of these doctors are trash, I personally feel they are being instructed to deny it. All of these women can't be lying about this. This really just pisses me off!!

[sadedasani]

It definitely messes with your cycle don't let these people lie to u

The least you could do after having all these vaccinated women coming forward and reporting changes in their cycles is to acknowledge their concerns and take them seriously! Let´s not forget this vaccines have only been authorized for "emergency use" and they are not fully approved. Honestly not even doctors can be so sure about their long term effects!

When I got my Moderna vaccine, I missed two periods in a row. 1st month for the 1st shot and 2nd month for the second shot. Missing my periods has never happened in my entire life. Let alone two periods in a row.

How dangerous to say that women do not need to worry. Indeed there may be no “proven” reason to worry, but to say, “It’s STUPID to worry” is disingenuous and, quite frankly, fucking insane.

The only thing I like about this video is the comment section.

Wow. thank you for that 30 sec. débunking answer without any explaination... If ten of thousand of women say it happens to them, you will still say it cannot exist? How scientific is that?

I know someone who is in her 30s, and for an unknown medical reason, has not had a menstrual cycle for several years. Upon receiving her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine, she had what appeared to be a one-day cycle. To not question or give thoughts about what happens to one's body is asinine.

So many women have come forward with this in recent months that they are actually doing a study now because they admitted that they didn’t consider the impact on women’s menstrual cycles when they initially did the studies. I wish they would just be honest about what they have researched and what they haven’t researched. Then just let the data from the study speak for itself.

[lanceyoxtheimer]

I believe there's over two hundred thousand cases that women reported changes in there period. It actually used to be on the cdc's website before they took that option away

I have been regular for years. I could tell you to the day I was going to start. Got the first moderna shot in July and was supposed to start my period that week. Missed my period. Got my second shot in August (already a month late mind you) and started my period the week after and it was HELLACIOUS. Not even two weeks after that period I have my September period and it's even worse. You cannot tell me that overnight my body decides to completely abandon it's normal routine and go haywire....the only change in my routine has been the moderns shot!!!

After my second Pfizer vaccine my menses came on THE NEXT DAY. So did my sister’s after her second vaccine. Coincidentally, to be fair, we knew it was on the horizon but we both noticed that THE NEXT DAY it arrived after the 2nd dose (she took Maderna).

Since taking the vaccine, my cycle’s pain and discomfort has increased. I have not experienced this pain since adolescence. Since the days I started going to college, my cycles would only irritate me on the first day for an hour perhaps, and get better after that. Never had to take ibuprofen in my adulthood. Since the vaccine? DAY 3 my uterus still wants to have discomfort. That’s very unusual. Last month, I actually vomited several times and was in intense discomfort.

There’s definitely a correlation here…

I know someone who was in menopause for 10+ years and six days after her pfizer dose she had her period.

[amywalshharris]

Wow! I love how this woman just said that with such confidence. Ever since I was vaccinated with Pfizer my periods have completely changed and it’s been 4 months and 5 periods. I wonder if she has been vaccinated ?

[celly]

It didn't happen to me, but my daughter's menstrual cycle stopped after the 1st Pfizer vaccine. I witnessed it. It's all qualitative data right now bc nobody is officially surveying what is happening to women. If we did studies and focus groups on this, we'd have the quantitative data she is referring to.

GMA needs to post a video about *Covid* messing up women's periods so we can have 500 testimonials in the comments of Covidiots with no period for a year

[keylimetea]

My dad’s gf’s friend got the vaccine and has not stopped bleeding (menstrual bleeding) for 45 days.

[shawnellemartineaux]

It makes your cycle either come early or late, and it caused mine to be abnormally heavy and abnormally crampy. I'm currently on heavy day 4. This NEVER happens to me.

Update: Period after second dose was not as heavy or as bad, and was not early.

Second period after second dose was on time, but as crampy and heavy as the one after the first dose.

[agnieszkagil]

Yes. There is a relationship between covid vaccine and periods. I started bleeding 2 days after the first dose of covid vaccine and I was bleeding for 2 months.

I'm not vaccinated and don't plan to but several of my coworkers have been vaccinated. My period is usually 6 days. This month I spotted for 4 days before starting. Now I'm on day 11 of my period with no end in sight. I'm looking into some detox options. Also, I saw my OB/Gyn at the end of March and mentioned that my husband and I will continue to try to conceive. He told me it's best not to get vaccinated then. Doctors do know the truth.
