OBGYN explains why a COVID vaccine might affect menstrual cycles

BATTLEFORWORLD.COM | June 5, 2021: Early evidence amassing from women around the country (in America) has led to questions about how COVID-19 vaccines maybe affecting women’s menstrual cycles. And after posting the question on social media, it became clear that a lot of women are experiencing cycle changes after receiving the COVID vaccine and are wondering if it’s related.

A woman wrote in a social media posting:  “I had my 1st COVID-19 vaccine in January followed by the 2nd in February, and since then I have had hemorrhagic bleeding with clots. This month of April was the heaviest.”

“I thought I was going crazy, and even went as far as making a doctor’s appt and switching out my BC because mine is so heavy now and its been a month straight”

“I received the Moderna vaccine in January and February I didn’t get my period for 3 months they did multiple blood test, pregnancy test and ultrasounds but everything came back normal. Then finally on April 4 I got my period and it’s been super heavy for the past 22 days non-stop.”

And some women are reporting other changes: “My period has been the lightest in years for the past 2 cycles. Was beginning to wonder if I was pushed into pre-menopause. Also my PMS symptoms haven’t been as bad from what I can tell.”

According to UCSF OBGYN, Dr. Heather Huddleston who specializes in reproductive endocrinology, said: “This isn’t something that even if there is a connection that I would be terribly worried about representing a long-term problem.”

A question to the doctor: “Why would the COVID vaccine or any vaccine interact with a woman’s menstrual cycle and hormones?”

The doctor replied: “In terms of why women would have a heavier cycle, I think clearly we don’t know the answer to that. We also don’t even know definitively if there is a true link with menstrual cycles and the vaccine. However, we do know in addition to hormones being really important in a menstrual cycle, that there is a role for the immune system in the uterus,” said Huddleston, who suggested, “if there are changes, perhaps due to a vaccine, maybe that would subtly affect the behavior of the immune system in the uterus.”

(BattleForWorld.com: According to Viral Immunologist Dr. Byram W. Bridle [posting, here] the “spike protein” is gathering in high concentration in the ovaries. – And this potentially could trigger an autoimmune response causing inflammation, affecting pregnancy, causing miscarriage, affecting menstrual cycle, etc.)
