Dr. Gunter, THANK YOU for a deep, seriously geeky, investigation as to the possible relationship between the COVID 19 Vaccination and possible disruptions to the menstrual cycle. It was super informative, especially about what we just do NOT know. While at 60 I'm far away from these concerns, I always LOVE a deep dive on research. This is something I will share with my nieces, who might be subjected to anti-vaccine woo living in South Carolina. THANK YOU!!!
Dr Gunter, Thank you for this interesting article. It made me recall some of the rumors about the COVID 19 vaccine and fertility issues. Perhaps someone falsely saw this small delay in ovulation as a more dire issue in fertility post-vaccine. I believe most of those rumors have been dispelled? Is this true?
No concerns about the vaccine and fertility have been roundly dispelled. The origin of that myth is a standard anti-vaccine trope. It's been a false thing for both the HPV vaccine and tetanus vaccines. Sigh.
Great to see the research being done as this was a concern raised by many patients. Also do we know how COVID infection affects the cycle and whether it is similar?

Thank you so much for this! I understand why they excluded PCOS but since it affects so many menstruating people it’s a shame.
