14 days, this is the second one I’ve had like this. Here’s my tracking, I had the first jab in July and you can see how much it’s been f’ed up since!Do you mind saying how late you were? I’m on day 10. How many periods have you now had that are 9 days. I’m panicking…
This is one of main reasons i havent had it too. I think people think its a petty reason but for us who suffer and take serious pain relief / suffer anaemia i think its a fair concern when theres not enough known yet, im scared it will affect them worse and wont returnI’m due to get my first vaccine next week (yes I’m unhabbed up till now please no hate) one of my main concerns is my periods and mood being affected I already have severe pms and awful painful and heavy periodsdreading them getting worse or having a few bad months? Does anyone know why it even affects our periods? I don’t want to put my body under stress and suffering
I get awful anemic too well never been tested but feel like all the life has been sucked out of me for about three days after my period makes me feel like a walking zombie with no nutrients left in meThis is one of main reasons i havent had it too. I think people think its a petty reason but for us who suffer and take serious pain relief / suffer anaemia i think its a fair concern when theres not enough known yet, im scared it will affect them worse and wont return
Don't let anyone make you feel bad. if you want the vaccine, get it, if you don't want it then don't get it.I’m due to get my first vaccine next week (yes I’m unhabbed up till now please no hate) one of my main concerns is my periods and mood being affected I already have severe pms and awful painful and heavy periodsdreading them getting worse or having a few bad months?

I know people who have had heavy bleeding/periods every other week sinceDon't let anyone make you feel bad. if you want the vaccine, get it, if you don't want it then don't get it.
So many hurting right now and most don't even know there is a reporting system. I see so many saying proberbly nothing to do with the vaccine its proberbly just a coincidence. So many coincidences though
I think for me this is the major issue. It’s totally ignored. If they acknowledged it and said yes, your cycle may change but our research has shown this is temporary and not affecting fertility etc then people would be happier. But it’s totally ignored. It’s this going to cause people long term health issues? We just don’t know and as ever, women and periods seem to be an ignored topic.I know people who have had heavy bleeding/periods every other week sincewhen i say have u reported yellow card scheme/ considered it as side effect they wont even acknowledge it as a possibility
Exactly 100%, ive seen insta doctors do vids promoting the vax saying 'its perfectly safe' but not going into detail or addressing anyone's legitimate concernsI think for me this is the major issue.

I’d maybe call your doctor anyway and explain this and see what their advice is? Explain you’re TTC. I know 5 women personally who are double jabbed, but are hesitant about receiving the booster, after hearing about period issues after it. Especially as reports are saying the protection of the booster only lasts 8-10 weeks. It’s very difficult when people ask you questions. It’s really noone’s business, but if you say that, they assume you’re an “anti vaxxer”. I’d advise calling your doctor or reading up on the yellow card scheme and making an informed decision yourself. Unfortunately there’s scaremongering from both sides, it’s a matter of trying to stick to the regulated advisory’s and making a decision that’s best for you right now. Hope you’re ok xI’ve come on over from the TTC thread.
Shortly after my second jab in August I had a 2 week period, I had come off the pill a few months prior with a few normal cycles before the jab. I’m not 100% sure if it was my hormones still evening out or the jab, but I’ve never in my life had a 2 week period, not even as a teenager! I considered calling the GP for some advice at one point but it did eventually stop.
Im now undecided about the booster as I don’t want the same to happen again + we’re trying to conceive. I’m trying my best to dodge all the ‘have you had your booster yet’ questions from friends, family, work colleagues (especially male!) as I don’t really want to go in to detail about my periods and monthly cycle!!
just adding to this:mine was the opposite! really noticed it after 2nd astrazeneca dose as i was on 20mg provera / day for heavy periods due to PCOS (i think its a relatively high dose?) and in the week break i'd hardly bled for the past 18 months. dose 2 in may and suddenly would bleed before the break, (tmi warning) a lot of discharge and clots which was my usual experience before meds. it was also two weeks on two weeks off before meds and it started to look a lot more like that post vax even though my dose hadn't changed. mentioned it in passing to gynae in july and they said it might be weight gain so dose less concentrated / effective - lost weight from july onwards and my periods remained heavy. can't really comment on third dose (pfizer) as im now on progesterone only pill so no bleed but discharge is still noticeably different. also apologies for the essay!
also just found this thread! https://tattle.life/threads/painful-period-after-covid-vaccine.21864/
I had exactly the same thing - bit of spotting that didn't last 24 hours and felt rough, but was then back to normal (I am not on contraception though)I had my booster on Sunday (pfizer, same as my vaccine and had no side effects whatsoever with first 2 jabs) but yesterday, I went for a wee and there was blood when I wiped (sorry if that’s tmi) but it wasn’t like a proper period, and before the end of the day, it had faded away. I’m on the depo injection and haven’t had a period for years. However, I am due my next injection next week, so could have been spotting because I was due my next one. Just a bit of a coincidence, maybe.But I was feeling very shivery and unwell for a couple of hours during the day.
