Look. This isn't intended to come across as antivax in anyway. I am triple protected and would do it again.
But, it has significantly affected my menstruation. It has significantly affected a lot of women's menstruation. There has been hardly anything written about this.

The only thing I've seen about it said "yes, it seems the vaccine affects menstruation but it's minor" but I'm telling you- what I'm experiencing and what other people have shared with me is that this is not minor. Excruciating symptoms, and delayed periods of up to two weeks.
Again. I am grateful for the vaccine and would do it again. I do not worry about my fertility in anyway. But we can't just ignore the reality of this simply because we don't want to legitimize peoples fears.
*Apologies- I should have said it has affected a lot of people who menstruate.
I'm stunned and furious by the responses to this tweet. I have thousands of messages and DMs to go through. Some of your stories are heartbreaking. So many people have been carrying valid fears but haven't felt comfortable speaking up because it has all been so politicized.
Thank you for opening up and sharing with me. Your stories are important.
One through line I'll share is that so many of you just thought you were alone with this. You aren't.
