Abnormal menstrual clots, Heavy menstrual bleeding and Fatigue

4.22.2021 – I would like to add that one week after my first dose of vaccine I began to have a much heavier than usual period, which lasted twice as long as normal. I didnt at the time make note of it because I attributed it to age-related irregularities and attributed the fatigue I was feeling with my unusually heavy period rather than with the first dose of the Pfizer Vaccine. In hindsight I do think it is possible that the vaccine affected my cycle and should be noted as a possible side effect.

7.20.2021 – I am currently experiencing my second extremely heavy menstrual bleeding since the vaccine. I am into my second week of heavy bleeding with large clots. I am 47 years old and have grown accustomed to short, light periods until the vaccine.
