CNN —People who got the Covid-19 vaccine reported slightly longer menstrual cycles, but the change was temporary, according to a new study published Tuesday in the journal BMJ Medicine. “We found no differences in menses length in any group of vaccinated individuals, compared with the unvaccinated cohort,” the study says. The changes to the length of the cycle didn’t remain in the cycle after vaccination, the authors said – apart from in the group that received two doses in one cycle. For the vaccinated cohort, they looked at three prevaccine cycles and at least the first Covid-19 vaccine dose cycle. Nearly two-thirds of the 15,000 vaccinated participants had received the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, although participants had also received the Johnson & Johnson, Moderna and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines among others.
