So apparently the Covid vaccine can cause an extra heavy period. I'll have to keep that in mind when I get vaccinated with regards to my current endo treatment.

Wow, that's fascinating! I read the whole article... not very long but very, very interesting! I get my second shot this week... slightly nervous about it but willing to write down any side effects. Hope you get yours soon!

Also, that page has the biggest advertisements I've ever seen!

I'm still making up my mind on whether to wait for the college I more-or-less work for to see if they'll actually be putting a vaccination program together, or whether I should go through different means. I may ask my doctor tomorrow, since I have an appointment. Still, I'm fat enough that I'd probably be okay'd to get the vaccine even if Iowa hadn't just dropped all restrictions and made it open access.

Huh, interesting.

I think I actually had a slightly shorter period after my vaccine than usual, so I wonder how brand-dependent it is.

[soc_puppet]

Weird! Still, data is data.

[krait]

Yep. I wondered about brands because I had the Johnson & Johnson vaccine (1 dose), and the two people in the article intro both mentioned their menstrual effects occurring 'after the second dose' so it seems we didn't have the same vaccine.

Oh, huh! Yeah, that could make a pretty big difference, since it's a more traditional type of vaccine rather than the new mRNA vaccines.

There's someone collecting more data on the phenomenon; I haven't got the image transcribed yet, but you can still find out more here.
