Did you period come late after having a vaccine?

If so which vaccine did you have, how late were you and how long before you were due on did you get the vaccine?

Im just curious.

Yes ! I had the Astra Zeneca . My first dose was in January and since then my cycle has increased from 28 days to 30 days. After the 2nd dose I had the worst PMS I’ve ever had. cramps before hand and I was an emotional wreck.

I’m due on so let’s see what this one will bring.

May just be a coincidence but I’ve heard a number of women mention changes with their period

i had heard the opposite and there was a thread about menstrual bleeding either starting early or happening for women who dont normally bleed

sounds like rather than specifically causing bleeding of delays its just impacting the overall cycle, which it did seem from the other thread can be a normal reaction to any vaccine

This is quite an important aspect of the vaccine situation, not to be underestimated.

I can't recall any warnings for women regarding this when the vaccines were released except for pregnant women being advised not to take it.

I think the health authorities should be paying close attention to women who have had the vaccine especially those who intend to go on and have children.

Maybe look into men's sperm counts too.

I had the Pfizer and was 14 days late after my 1st jab but then they went back to normal.

Some of my work colleagues were the same but we couldn't find any information on the jab effecting periods.

Changes to cycle are definitely a thing.

We know a doctor who was amongst the first to have vaccine due to her role. She has had pretty much constant bleeding ever since and us undergoing tests.

its because it hasn’t been researched yet, the volume of it happening could still just be coincidence ... there was some news articles about it 2 or 3 weeks ago then it went quiet, and as usual if it can’t happen to a man its probably way down the list of stuff to look into

"Since my vaccinations, I've started bleeding sporadically, I've been on the continuous pill for years and never so much as spotted before x"

That's another issue too, the combination of the vaccine and contraception pills.

I would seek more medical advice and monitoring.

I always thought the acid test for the viability of a vaccine would be results from pregnant women or women in a menstrual stage of their lives. Unfortunately they are the guinea pigs.

Hopefully mothers and children from this era come out unscathed.

I have second jab tomorrow. So I'm going to watch what happens.

First jab, was straight after a period but next one was 9 days late.

I seem lighter and shorter since but could be a coincidence.

I testing reading the comments though.

I wonder how many women have been late or irregular and not thought it could be related to the vaccine.

The womb lining is part of the immune system and it is therefore not unusual for it to be effected by anything that makes changes to the immune system such as vaccines.

Changes are normally short term and harmless. It can happen with any vaccine but is probably more noticeable with the covid vaccine as so many people are having the same vaccine at the same time and comparing side effects

Had my first jab 6 weeks ago, been bleeding for the last 4 weeks continously. Doctor has referred me for an ultrasound now.

I actually came into this forum to look for anyone else having this issue! Seems I'm not alone, so frustrating!

I was so against having the jab in the first place, definitely won't be having the second unless we can find the cause to be something unrelated.

I had the AZ in March.

April period I started mild spotting on due date which lasted a week. Then I had a light period. All in I was bleeding 12 days.

May’s period came 28 days after the light period started and was normal. So it seems to have moved my cycle on a week.

Just had the second jab so will see how it goes. It’s irritating through because I’m trying to conceive, so not having a clue where I’m at in my cycle is really not ideal.

Its not a vaccine its a dna altering experiment where we are the guinea pigs, basically they put some mrna thing inside which alters dna to make virus (which could actually spread virus)

Because mRNA vaccines are only now beginning to be tested in humans, there are a lot of fairly basic unknowns which can only be answered through human trials. ‘What is really the current challenge, I think, is to understand whether these vaccines will really be able to mount a sufficiently protective immune response in the human and to understand, for example, which quantities of mRNA will be needed to do this,’ said Prof. Bekeredjian-Ding.

Other outstanding questions include whether the proteins that have been chosen for the vaccine are the right ones to prevent a coronavirus infection in the body, how targeted the immune response is to this particular coronavirus, how long any immunity would last, and whether it causes side-effects such as increased inflammatory responses like redness and swelling or, in the worst case, aggravates disease.

there is still a lot of work to be done to understand this response around periods, the length of the protection it could give and whether there are any downsides.

It's generally all very benign, with an incredibly high proportion of people developing good levels of immunity. Small temporary effects are the norm for the small minority of people who get side effects.

And vastly better than being a person who was in a chain of avoidable infection of others that resulted in deaths, or even our own deaths or Long Covid.

To be quiet honest, I've stopped researching possible side effects from all Vaccines..........

For the simple reason I'm inclined to get a little freaked out.......

I'm not a scientist or medical lab technician......... But I do believe some have had kidney problems, heart problems as in some individuals have increased high blood pressure since their 1st Jab & apparently menstrual interruptions also... to name but a few side effects.

I was reluctant to have my 1st vaccine last wk but I went ahead with it, no side effects as of yet, just cramps in my left leg from toes to femur, I kinda know how to counteract these symptoms by stretching & making sure I have aspirin on hand. A little numbness & pain in my left arm even though I had the jab in my right arm.

We are all being speculative & will be, I think there's alot of fake news circulating on social media platforms... Fingers Crossed we`ll all be ok

It's interesting. I'm "not applicable" as my vaccines were via a trial, but the LFTs I got mention the Yellow card scheme in big bold letters - I would have thought the vaccine literature did too.

The leaflet given at the time of vaccination does state to report to the Yellow Card Scheme and how to do it. This link is for the Pfizer one, see Section 4 - Reporting of Side Effects.

There's an identical one for AZ and Moderna and these are the electronic version of the paper leaflets handed out: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-pfizer-biontech-vaccine-for-covid-19/information-for-uk-recipients-on-pfizerbiontech-covid-19-vaccine

It's good to hear that they are now doing spending over 1 and a half bmillion dollars on 5 new studies into why the cycles have been unexpectedly disrupted in so many ladies after being vaccinated.

I didn't want to paste the link as I'm not sure if it's allowed here, but here is an excerpt from the article. I'm sure you can easily find the full article if you search.

"The National Institutes of Health has awarded one-year supplemental grants totaling $1.67 million to five institutions to explore potential links between COVID-19 vaccination and menstrual changes. Some women have reported experiencing irregular or missing menstrual periods, bleeding that is heavier than usual, and other menstrual changes after receiving COVID-19 vaccines. The new awards support research to determine whether such changes may be linked to COVID-19 vaccination itself and how long the changes last. Researchers also will seek to clarify the mechanisms underlying potential vaccine-related menstrual changes."

Hopefully they find it is only a temporary side effect to their menstruation and has no effect on fertility.

"This is quite an important aspect of the vaccine situation, not to be underestimated.

I can't recall any warnings for women regarding this when the vaccines were released except for pregnant women being advised not to take it.

I think the health authorities should be paying close attention to women who have had the vaccine especially those who intend to go on and have children.

Maybe look into men's sperm counts too.

"

Fyi pregnant women are STRONGLY encouraged to take it as they are more at risk of covid than others their age.

I think at the very beginning of the vaccination programme (if I remember correctly) pregnant women were medically exempt from the vaccination, the guidance was changed to include pregnant, and I believe, breastfeeding women in the vaccination programme.

According to the New York Times, ( Jan 28 2021) the CDC and The Who were giving conflicting advice on whether to covid vaccinate pregnant ladies or not, they felt it should not be an issue but as expectant mothers had been eliminated from any covid trials they did not have data on implications of pregnancy and vaccinations.

But trials and real world data have become available subsequently and so the CDC and MHRA updated their guidance on pregnant and breastfeeding women. Data on the effect of COVID on pregnant women has also informed the change of advice. Bear in mind that on 28 Jan 2021, the vaccines had barely been in real world use for a month.

Flu has killed more than covid this year

Why isnt the flujab being pushed so heavily on people

Took nearly 10 years to sort out what was going on when they started giving thalidomide to pregnant mothers that was approved too

Saw it put best the otherday

I can take my tinfoil hat off

Can you unvaccinate yourself?

We get called conspiracy theorists

But so did people that made claims about operation paperclip operation northwoods operation mk ultra

The list goes on all released declasified documents proving conspiracy theories to be true

One of the subjects of mk ultra was a 10 year old girl that was put through sexual trauma and given big doses of acid

Our governments do not care about me or you

Phizer lost in court in a case with the nhs for overcharging for epilepsy medication by 4000% thats how much they care about getting life saving medication to people

You can verify everything i have said

You get called a tin foil hatter, a conspiracy theorist and any kind of loon if you don’t walk blindly and unquestioningly into what the government advise you to do.

But if you’re only moderately inquisitive and free thinking, you’ll have seen some staggeringly illogical, conflicting ‘facts’ since all this drama began.

I feel rather alone since deciding to decline the vaccine but my choice to remain part of the unvaccinated control group is based entirely on logic, worldly experience and common sense.

My 4, 30 something daughters have all gone for it and I’m most unhappy about it: no more grandchildren for me as from 2021, I’m secretly wondering but not daring to say.

‘Population Control by Vaccine’ - how can I or any of us know whether Gates lectures 3 or 4 years ago on this topic are part of a sinister bigger picture?

What I do know, after a business lifetime in a wheeling and dealing environment, is never trust anyone’s motives until you can be sure..

Generally people don't get called conspiracy theorists for not getting vaccinated... they get called it for perpetuating daft theories as a reason for not getting jabbed and trying to persuade others not to.

There is no suggestions that any of the vaccines have had any impact on fertility, and no evidence that they have any impact on pregnancy either.

The Bill Gates thing about reducing populations has also been taken completely out of context. The concept is this:

Many third world countries suffer from over population because they have a high mortality rate. Families over compensate by having large numbers of children to increase the chances of "some" surviving to adulthood.

By vaccinating these populations, it would be possible to massively reduce this high mortality rate, meaning that families wouldn't need to have huge numbers of kids... thus reducing the populations. It is actually very sensible.

Can I point our that Thalidomide was an anti sickness drug approved for use with cancer patients and not approved or recommended to be given to pregnant women. It was doctors who started prescribing it and the fault does not lie with the pharmaceutical company. Once links had been made, it was withdrawn from use in pregnancy. This was many years ago and monitoring of possible drug side effects is way more thorough now and any issues acted upon quickly.

Medicine development/approval processes and airplane safety, amongst other complex aspects of modern life, have been substantially changed almost beyond recognition, based on problems many years ago.

Yes, it does happen with other vaccines and some medications. The working hypothesis is related to the triggering of certain immune system responses to the vaccine and that this is transient. There's no evidence that altered cycles cause any fertility related issues though. I've had irregular periods my whole life but conceivable two children with little difficulty.

Thanks for reply. It doesn’t sit comfortably with me that we are using a working hypothesis. That isn’t evidence it is (informed) hunches.

I would say that surely it is too soon to know whether this might cause fertility issues. It will take a few years to really come to light and see birth rate trends.

It is the main reason I am not comfortable with extending vaccination to pubescent and pre-pubescent children. We need to be sure first.

In human trials, pregnant women and children are regarded as particularly vulnerable groups that are tested separately from the general population, in respect for their human rights.

There is growing literature on the subject if you care to look, beginning with the early trial volunteers who fell pregnant despite being asked not to by the trial (normal trial protocol).

Hardly any drugs or vaccines in use today have been tested on pregnant or breastfeeding women, because women of childbearing age are routinely excluded from trials. Not just the COVID vaccine, but pretty much every drug, vaccine etc on the market. Ditto for children. We essentially guess at the right dose of medicines for children because no trials are done involving children, to establish dosing requirements for medicines.

This is not new news.

It can't help to cross my mind then, that the effects of vaccinations or repeated vaccinations, and boosters, hasn't been tested fully on fertility outcomes.

Hopefully I'm wrong, but if the data wasn't collected on menstruating ladies, I can't really see how it could have been collected on fertility.

It was.

Some women fell pregnant during the trials, and babies were born. You're supposed to be on birth control (I'm on a trial and ditto), but... stuff happens

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/ninashapiro/2021/03/17/vaccinated-mother-gives-birth-to-first-newborn-with-covid-19-antibodies/amp/

"Over 20 women enrolled in the initial adult Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine trial became pregnant during the study period, and none suffered pregnancy loss or perinatal complications"

Is 20 a big number? No. Is it the only trial? No.

Is 20 a good indication if it's a trial where *you are asked to stay on birth control*? Yes. (My trial requests I am on birth control or, if male, my female partner stays on birth control)

"It can't help to cross my mind then, that the effects of vaccinations or repeated vaccinations, and boosters, hasn't been tested fully on fertility outcomes.

Hopefully I'm wrong, but if the data wasn't collected on menstruating ladies, I can't really see how it could have been collected on fertility.

It was.

Some women fell pregnant during the trials, and babies were born. You're supposed to be on birth control (I'm on a trial and ditto), but... stuff happens

But surely all that tells us is there were not any short term fertility issues identified in a small number of women?

It says “over 20 women enrolled got pregnant” but how many of the 000s taking part in the trial were actually trying to conceive?

Do we know whether there were women who may already find it difficult to conceive taking part and did this exacerbate the problem or have no adverse reaction?

Do we know out of the millions who have now had vaccines whether there has been any decline in overall birth rates (probably too soon as really need a year from majority having been double jabbed to start to identify trends).

While that 20 is promising, it is far from conclusive (yes I do note you said there were other trials).

One of the conditions of these trials is that you're *not* trying to conceive!!

My search for a written Fab friendly link for what I already knew threw up numerous other results for studies beginning earlier this year for pregnant women, and statements recommending vaccination for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

I don't know the details of the protocol for the Pfizer trial (unlike most discussions, we are only talking about Pfizer, because it's the only one this far in paediatrics). As noted, I'm on the Valneva trial. They are very very insistent that I (or, if male, my female partner) be on reliable birth control for the duration of the study. They try not to involve foetuses in phase 1-3 trials

The fact that 20 babies with no issues were born during a phase 3 trial is pretty remarkable to me. (I thought it was 2 or 3)

Yep promising and PLEASE let it all be ok, but not definitive. I think the next year will show what is happening (in highly vaxxed countries) as we will be able to see birthrate trends and make comparisons with previous years. If all looks normal then that will be reassuring to a lot of people.

For sure.

And I don't say any of this to dismiss fertility concerns. More - there are other issues. (Off the top of my head, sorry, no links) I remember one observation thing where they saw kids lose 10 IQ points after Covid, and there have been brain scans with imaging that looks like dementia warning signs even in mild cases.

To me the fertility stuff - although obviously an important issue - is largely theoretical, while the neurological effects are not theoretical. Fertility and neurology might be equal, but theoretical concerns are less important to me than known concerns. You know?

(We're in agreement - we want everyone to be ok. This is an awful time and we want everyone to get through unscathed)

The vaccine is not the only potential thing to impact birth rates though. Correlation is not causation. How many people might deliberately delay trying to conceive during a worldwide pandemic, when they might have lost income or their job completely, without the ability to have family travel to assist them etc? I bet lots of people have deliberately chosen not to try and conceive in the past year and a bit. So, a drop in birth rate cannot be attributed to one specific cause without evidence of a mechanism. So far, no mechanism has been identified whereby the vaccines could impair fertility.

Thats just the trouble, the health authorities are just roll up roll up, stick your arm out, no screening!!!

Of course and a very good point which is exactly why we will need long term data to identify trends. Naturally we can’t have long term data yet.

As for no mechanism. Are you certain? Please do point me to the source as that would be reassuring. For the moment it seems that a thickening of the uterus and erratic menstrual cycles or prolonged bleeds would suggest there is some issue that requires a lot more attention and research.

The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists state there is no biologically plausible mechanism by which the COVID vaccines could impair fertility. May other vaccines are given very safely to both pregnant and trying-to-conceive women. The only vaccines recommended to avoid during pregnancy itself are those that consist of whole, live virus and this is due to the immune system suppression in pregnant women. I am not aware of any other vaccine that is NOT recommended for women who are trying to conceive.

"Dr Edward Morris, President at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said: “We want to reassure women that there is no evidence to suggest that Covid-19 vaccines will affect fertility. Claims of any effect of Covid-19 vaccination on fertility are speculative and not supported by any data.

“There is? ?no biologically plausible mechanism by which current vaccines would cause any impact on women's fertility.”

Similarly, Professor Lucy Chappell, a consultant obstetrician specialising in women with medical problems in pregnancy, has stated: “I can see absolutely no basis for concerns about any of the Covid-19 vaccines that are licensed in the UK and fertility.”

The RCOG position on vaccines and fertility can be found at a webpage with the following title (link sadly not permitted)

I haven’t had the vaccine but I have had COVID.

I had my period whilst I had COVID and it lasted 13 days and was the heaviest period I’ve ever had in my life… normal period is 5 days and pretty light.

A month later I’ve now just come off my period again and it came three days late and has lasted 7 days, my period is always two days early and is always regular, and always lasts 5 days.

I have heard from friends who have had the vaccine that their periods have got heavier, also my cousin who is unvaccinated like me but got COVID had issues with her period too.

"And yet still people are so quick to judge those not taking up the vaccine. When a proper trial has been done, I'll consider it. "

This.

Yes, there's evidence that natural COVID infection can impact menstrual cycles for a short period too. It's more than likely due to the inflammatory response your body makes to the infection and can happen with other systemic infections too. As it can happen with other vaccines as well.

Hope you're back to your normal soon.
