A headache, pain in the injected area, fever, fatigue, and nausea are all common side effects of the vaccine. However, some women have reported changes in their menstrual cycle as a result of the vaccine.

Side effects have included:

- Unexpected vaginal bleeding.
According to Dr Shree Datta, expert gynaecologist:
“Whilst research is limited in this area, studies are emerging which suggest that COVID-19 has a short-lived impact hormonal balance on periods.
“It’s worth noting that a global event such as the pandemic itself may affect individuals psychologically and physically to differing extents – depending on their mental wellbeing at that time.
“One study found that around 20 percent of women who had COVID-19 either had lighter periods or a prolonged menstrual cycle – but there’s been no suggestion that this has impacted fertility in the longer term.”
Regarding fertility concerns, Dr Datta added:
“Whilst there is a paucity of data in this area, the evidence emerging suggests that any impact that COVID-19 may have on hormonal balance is transient.
“Currently there is no evidence of long-term influence on fertility or early miscarriage.
“However, the data is limited, so it may be a good idea to check your hormonal balance if your periods have changed in nature or timing after COVID or the vaccination, prior to considering pregnancy.”
A senior doctor from Vani Vilas Hospital said:
“The issue hasn’t been spoken about and many people are unaware.
“There is no research done to show that vaccination can alter the menstrual cycle.
“However, it is possible that stress or disrupted sleep or potentially disrupted body temperature could affect the menstrual cycle.
“Many are also experiencing stress and anxiety due to the pandemic.”
Period irregularities can be caused by a variety of factors, including dietary changes, stress, overexercising, taking birth control or steroids, or even a lack of sleep.
Endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, and uterine fibroids are just a few of the serious underlying medical conditions that could also play a role.

If a woman is experiencing heavy bleeding, doctors and health experts strongly advise that she see her doctor for a complete blood count and an oestrogen test.
