Should I be concerned?
Hi! I rarely post on reddit but I wanted to ask some advice/see if anyone had a similar issue.
Years ago, when I (22F) got the COVID vaccine years ago, I remember I didn't get my period at all. I think it may have been about a year give or take? I finally got one that was REALLY heavy.
Around when it finally came back, I got another vaccine or booster shot or whatever it was (sorry for my vagueness) and it disappeared AGAIN for awhile. I don't even remember how long until it came back, but it had been awhile. Again super heavy and all that.
I read around and I heard that this was somewhat normal, that it had happened to a lot of women. However it just seemed to less intense for the other ladies since they only skipped one or two periods from what I saw.
I ended up asking my doctor about a year ago, when I actually had insurance. She said it was probably no biggie since it was seen as normal, and I should be okay as long as I eventually get periods.
I had pretty irregular periods from then on, and I am JUST NOW having them regularly, with some cramping...
however I have pretty bad health anxiety especially recently. I'm wondering if anyone had a similar experience and if they're okay now? I would get my first pap but I cannot afford it rn :(
