Women across the globe have reported changes in their menstrual cycles following a COVID-19 shot. Changes include heavier and more painful periodsfirst and changes in menstrual cycle length, as well as sudden or unexpected bleeding, in women who use prolonged contraception or who are postmenopausal and have not had a period for many years or even many decade.2
Health officials have tried to deny the reports, but a study published in the Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology – and funded by the National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Women’s Health Research – confirm an association between menstrual cycle length and COVID-19 shots.3
Tens of thousands of reports of menstrual changes after the scan
Clinical trials for the COVID-19 shot did not collect menstrual cycle data after the injection. Furthermore, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) does not actively collect menstrual cycle information. However, in May 2021, a notable number (less than 200 people) reported menstrual-related problems after a COVID-19 shot.4
Meanwhile, anecdotal reports on social media abound and, according to research, “show that menstrual disorders are much more common…”5
For example, Kate Clancy, a human reproductive ecologist and associate professor of anthropology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and Katharine Lee, a biological anthropologist studying women’s health at the University Washington Medical in St. Louis, who were not involved in the featured study, had more than 140,000 reports from people who experienced changes in their periods after a COVID-19 shot, which they formally documented in an open study.6
Another 30,000 reports of period change after the collision were reported to the UK regulator.7 The implication is that the injections can affect fertility. As the Obstetrics and Gynecology researchers note, “Menstrual cycle count is a clear indicator of health and fertility.”8
Gunnveig Grødeland, a Norwegian vaccine researcher at the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital, also told TV2.no, “A sufficient number of women are experiencing changes, not just in Norway but in abroad, to make this happen. connected to the vaccine. “9,ten
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) is studying menstrual bleeding in 60,000 Norwegian women aged 11 to 80 to find out if abnormalities are linked to the COVID-19 injection.
COVID-19 Scan can change menstrual cycle length
The Obstetrics and Gynecology Study involved 3,959 people between the ages of 18 and 45. Those who did not receive the COVID-19 shot reported no significant change in their fourth cycle over the course of the study compared with three. their first cycle.
However, people who received the COVID-19 shot had longer menstrual cycles, usually less than a day, when they received the injection. Longer cycles were observed for both injections, with an increase of 0.71 days after the first dose and an increase of 0.91 days after the second dose.11
While the researchers describe this change as not clinically significant, meaning it’s not noticeable from a health standpoint, there are some women who experience even dramatic menstrual changes. especially those who receive two injections in the same menstrual cycle.
These changes include an increase in cycle length by two days and, in some cases, a change in cycle length from eight days or more. Even so, the researchers largely denied these findings because cycle length seemed to return to normal within two cycles of the scan:twelfth
“A subgroup of individuals who received both doses of vaccine in a single cycle had, on average, adjusted their vaccination cycle length by 2 days compared with unvaccinated individuals. . Although approximately 10% of these individuals experienced a clinically noticeable change in cycle length of 8 days or more, this change subsided rapidly within two postvaccine cycles. ”
Why does COVID-19 shot affect the menstrual cycle?
The study only assessed menstrual cycle length, which means more research is needed to determine how the injections affect other aspects of menstruation, such as symptoms such as pain and mood swings. the condition and characteristics of the bleeding, such as the severity of the flow.
As for how they lead to changes, it is well known that menstrual cycle timing, which is controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, is influenced by environmental and health factors.
However, the menstrual cycle changes seen in the study were not typically due to stress, as the uninfected group experienced no such changes throughout the study. Instead, it is possible that the immune response generated by the mRNA scans affected the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Base on the research:13
“Our findings for individuals given two doses in one cycle support this hypothesis. Given the US COVID-19 mRNA vaccine dosing schedule (21 days for Pfizer and 28 days for Moderna), an individual who receives two doses in a cycle will receive the first dose in the first phase. egg follicle.
The variation in cycle length is the result of events leading to the recruitment and maturation of the dominant follicle during the follicular phase, processes known to be affected by stress. “
Likewise, in an editorial published in The BMJ, Victoria Male, a lecturer in reproductive immunology at Imperial College London, said that when it comes to menstrual changes after a COVID-19 shot- 19, “A connection is legitimate and should be investigated.”14 According to Nam:15
“Menstrual changes were reported after both the mRNA and adenovirus vector covid-19 vaccines, suggesting that, if there is a link, it could be the result of an immune response to the vaccine. rather than a specific vaccine component. Vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV) has also been linked to changes in menstruation.
… Biologically plausible mechanisms linking immune stimulation to changes in menstruation include an immune effect on hormones that promote the menstrual cycle or a mediated effect of immune cells fluid in the endometrium, which is involved in the cyclic formation and breakdown of this tissue. Research exploring a possible link between the covid-19 vaccine and menstrual changes may also help understand this mechanism.”
Miscarriage and fertility anxiety
Women who are pregnant or of childbearing age are encouraged to get the COVID-19 vaccine, even if the data does not support its safety.
Pregnant women were excluded from clinical trials of injecting mRNA, but a study in Pfizer-BioNTech mice found that the injection doubled the pre-implantation rate of tooth loss and also resulted in a lower incidence of mouth/jaw malformations, gastroparesis (a congenital malformation of the abdominal wall) and abnormalities of the right aortic arch and cervical vertebrae in the fetus.16
Pfizer’s biodistribution study, which is used to determine where substances are injected into the body, also shows that the COVID spike protein from the injections accumulates at “fairly high concentrations” in the ovaries.17
A Japanese biodistribution study for Pfizer jab also found that vaccine particles move from the injection site into the bloodstream, where then the circulating mutant proteins freely travel throughout the body, including to ovaries, liver, nerve tissues and other organs.18
Currently, the global fertility rate is declining, reaching 2.4 births per woman in 2018, down from 5.06 in 1964. Birth rates in about 50% of countries worldwide are at a level 2.1, lower than the population replacement level, The Guardian reported.19 If other stressors are included, it can be a disaster.
According to the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge (IPAK), a CDC-funded study has been widely used to support the U.S. recommendation for the injection of the drug in pregnant women “providing pregnancy statistics.” false reassurance regarding the risk of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy”.20
When the risk of miscarriage was recalculated for all women who received the shot before 20 weeks of pregnancy, the rate was 7 to 8 times higher than the original study showed, with cumulative miscarriage rates. from 82% to 91%.
IPAK Call for Withdrawal Shots
Not only do IPAK data show that COVID-19 injections before 20 weeks are unsafe for pregnant women, but 12.6% of women who receive injections in the second trimester reported Grade 3 adverse events. , serious or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening. Another 8% also reported having a fever of 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit), which can lead to miscarriage or premature birth.21
Furthermore, study follow-up only continued for 28 days after birth, meaning that the long-term effects of prenatal exposure on infants are still unknown. The many concerns of COVID-19 mRNA injection during pregnancy and lactation include inhibition of synctyin-1, a protein required for cell fusion and placental development,22 and transmit mutant mRNA and protein across the placenta and through breast milk. IPAK explains:23
“Transmission of mutant mRNA and protein across the placenta and through breast milk is of concern, as the impact on development in utero or in the breastfed infant is unknown.
No mRNA mutation coding region amplification was detected in liquid or aqueous breast milk fractions 0–7 days after vaccination in one study…in 15 pregnant women and five women who gave birth. nursing mothers received a single dose of Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine (BNT162B2).
However, the presence of the mutant protein itself was not tested. The authors of this study recommend caution, given the small sample size and study duration of only one week after exposure.
In contrast to this study, voluntary reporting systems such as VAERS received numerous reports of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), gastrointestinal disturbances, rash, anaphylactic reactions, and death. … after exposure to the breast milk of a recently vaccinated mother. ”
The Obstetrics and Gynecology study adds data that the shots are affecting aspects of fertility and reproduction by influencing menstrual cycle length. IPAK believes the data is convincing enough to withhold vaccinations for vulnerable populations, noting:24
“Considering the evidence presented here, we recommend immediate discontinuation of the mRNA vaccine during pregnancy (Group X) and those who are breastfeeding, along with discontinuation of the vaccine. mRNA for children or persons of childbearing age in the general population, until more convincing data are available regarding safety and long-term effects on fertility, pregnancy, and reproduction established in these groups. ”
