More side affects concerning women revealed

…………….According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration documents that listed potential side effects for both the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines, having a potential irregular period isn't included — suggesting that this data wasn't either explicitly collected or reported during the clinical trials.

Kathryn Schubert, President and CEO of the Society for Women's Health Research, told Salon she thinks questions about a woman's menstrual cycle should "absolutely" be incorporated and an expected standard in clinical trials that include women.

"Anytime you're including women in a clinical trial or a study design, it needs to be a part of the thinking," Schubert said. "Standard questions are more along the lines of, 'If you're a person of reproductive age, are you on birth control?' or 'Could you be pregnant?'"………………………..

There was no time frame in the article as to how long this symptom lasts. If long term it could be a major problem and/or if continuing to menstruant during pregnancy. Messing around with the monthly cycle could have problems in conceiving also.

My thoughts mirror yours. If it's limited to one or two periods, no big deal. My cycle was often disturbed by minor illnesses, stress, and who knows what else.

My DIL conceived a couple of months after her second Pfizer shot, so it didn't seem to affect her fertility - at least not long term.

If I were still menstruating, I wouldn't be concerned about cycle changes unless they went on for more than a couple of months.
