What if COVID effects your fertility?

Barbie2020 · Jul 22, 2021

I’m really worried. My period is two weeks late (I’m not pregnant). I’ve had the odd late period by about 5 days due to stress but only a handful of times and never this late before. I can’t help but worry that it’s because i had my first vaccine. Can’t think of anything else. Not really great when my periods have always been pretty regular and I was hoping to be trying for a baby this year.

From what I gathered this happens to a lot of people after the vaccine but your next (or the one after) cycle should be back to normal
I know it’s easier said then done but try to not worry too much about it as that can influence things aswell. I’m sure you’ll be back to normal soon and can start your ttc journey x

My husband will be pleased to know that. Saves him getting a vasectomy

This happened to my best friend after Pfizer and hers sorted after one cycle.

Where have you seen that please? I havent seen anything or read anything that supports this statement and I would like to read more about it as we are considering having another baby

In fairness I shouldn’t have said such a claim without linking something! As always there is a lot online to wade through. I remember hearing about it (from a few sources) quite early into COVID last year so it quite possibly has had more research / been disproven now.

That was a bit of a bold claim to make tbf. And this is the problem with people believing what is written on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter and not doing the correct research (not saying that is you btw)
It’s a worrying time for everyone, but every vaccine has started somewhere and may have a few bumps in the road

My period has been pretty much no existent since getting the vaccine, I had the AZ about a month or so ago. I was spotting but that was it. Skin broke out as normal and had cramps but no period. I am a natural worrier anyway so panic more.

I was the same. I went from April-July with no period after my second vaccine. I was very worried as I’ve always been pretty regular. Luckily I think things are starting to get back to normal for me now so hopefully they do for you too
