The women’s collective, called “Where is my cycle”, was heard in the Senate on April 6. These activists denounce the anti-Covid-19 vaccines responsible, according to them, for causing adverse effects on the menstrual cycle.
Wednesday, April 6, the collective “where is my cycle“was heard in the Senate by a study committee on the side effects of vaccines against Covid-19, after a first hearing in the European Parliament on April 4.
Menstrual cycle disorders that affect many women
Delay or absence of periods, longer or more abundant periods… This group of women is fighting to denounce the anti-covid vaccines responsible for these side effects on their menstrual cycle.
According to the Health Agency for Medicines and Health Products (ANSM), 152,308 cases having had a side effect have been reported since the start of vaccination. Reported cases concerning menstruation and the menstrual cycle number 4,432.
No proven link yet
Studies have already been conducted on the subject, such as the one published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, which studied the periods of 2,400 women. The results of the scientists conclude to “an association of vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 with a slight modification of the length of the cycle, but not of the duration of the periods”. The French health authorities have also studied the question.
The High Authority for Health conducted a survey which identifies a number of cases of post-vaccination menstrual disorders: 36 cases for 6.4 million injections of the Moderna vaccine and 229 cases for 53 million doses of Pfizer. The ANSM, for its part, decided last July and considers “that no link can be made to date”.

The European Medicines Agency is looking into the subject
Last February, the European Medicines Agency announced that it was examining these cases as well. However, she makes it clear from the outset that he “It is not yet clear whether there is a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and reports of heavy periods or amenorrhea. There is also no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 vaccines affect fertility.”. For its part, the ANSM however recommends consulting a doctor in the event of serious menstrual disorders.
