Vaccine shortened menstrual cycle

Hi all!

So I’m not posting this to spark a debate about vaccines. Each to their own.

I was just simply curious if anyone else has notice a DRASTIC change in their periods after receiving the Covid Vaccinations.

I got 2 doses of the Pfizer (no booster) and let me tell you my periods have went from 5 miserable days to only 2 😳

Now I have no idea why, and I’m hoping I don’t have any future problems but this is just very odd. I have never used any form of birth control either. Just wondering if anyone else has had something similar happen.

I think there's been research that showed quite a few woman had side effects on their periods both from having the vaccine and from having Covid, because of the way it does something to the immune system.

Fingers crossed that your 2 days stick!

Yes! Me! However I went the other way - bleeding for 10-14 days every 2 weeks.

GP said it related to jabs and I did go back to my normal cycle after 3 months! X

yes me, my period has been irregular and lasts different time frames every period. I have no idea what to expect anymore. This is all since receiving the jabs x
