A colleague told me she has heard from others that their periods were heavy post-vax. I'm curious whether other menstruators have noticed changes too? I'm a week and a half out from dose 1 of Moderna, got my period maybe a day or so early, and am gushing like I'm in my 20s again.

Ok this is too cool, the colleague and I are already plotting a self-report tool to try and gather these experiences.

Interesting! I probably won’t get the vaccine for a while so I will have to track the months leading up to my vaccine to see if it changes!

I received my 1st Pfizer jab on Wed and started my period 2 days later/8 days early. My cycle is usually like clockwork. The only other time it was out of whack was after an emergency appendectomy for a ruptured appendix w/peritonitis. (Another possible inflammatory response?)

So interesting - immune/inflammatory response can be so weird. If you haven't yet please consider filling out our survey: https://is.gd/pd_vax

I feel as though this is because women are historically left out of clinical trials. Women don’t really need as big of a dose but they give us enough to vaccinate someone twice our size.
