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.

Huh, interesting.

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

Weird! Still, data is data.

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.
