      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.

      I'm on day 3 of my period and am still swapping out extra long overnight pads a few times a day. Typical for me at this time is maybe one or two regular pads (though extra absorbent, Always Infinity ones) for the whole day.

      Does this have to do with the way the vax response is mounting a broader inflammatory response, possibly moreso because of the lipid nanoparticle or mRNA mechanism? Either way I am fascinated! Inflammation + tissue remodeling = extra bleedypants!

          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. #Feminism
