It may not surprise you to learn that, in journalism school, I did not receive any special training to cover, ah, “women’s health issues.” It just wasn’t a subject I ever figured I’d need to, you know… deal with.
These are strange times, however.
Last week, actress Katy Stoll shared what she said has been the severe menstrual symptoms that she’s experienced after getting the COVID vaccine.
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.

That sounds alarming enough. What’s even more unsettling is the replies—Stoll claims to have received “thousands” of them—from women who are suffering from the same effects.
(Be warned that many of the following posts contain both language and descriptions of bodily functions that many of our male readers take significant pains to avoid in everyday life.)
