guess who found that out by getting gettysburged yesterday?
like for real. the worst day of menstruation of my life. for people who know their menstrual cycle and haven’t gotten a vaccine yet, book it around your cycle if at all possible omg.
I got my first shot a week ago and the lead-up to my period was very strange. Normally I start getting cramps about half a day before I start bleeding, but I had that pre-period crampy feeling for three days this time followed by a pretty heavy period. I was pretty concerned until I realized it might have something to do with having just gotten the vaccine. I’m definitely pleased to see they’ve started collecting data about it.
If you have room to maneuver when scheduling your shot definitely keep your cycle in mind.
This happened to me this week. I went to the doctor and they didn’t tell me this, so here it is for folks who might need it.
