Covid / menstrual alterations

Has anyone experienced a totally different length and volume of period after having covid?. I'm still having monthly periods at 47, 3 days normal, light in volume. I'm just getting over covid for a 4th time 🙈, and started my period and by day 4 it was ramping up... Day 6 clot after clot, soaked... Ended up in A&E... Day 8 now and still heavy. I've read a cpl of medical studies saying 50% of women did see alterations in their menstrual flow and length of time after having covid. Ive only been given Transamanic Acid.

Yes I did too ask them for pelvic scan too see if there is anything else

@Jo thank you, I will. I kept saying I was covid positive last week, and i know there's a possible link, but they were more concerned that I might be miscarring, which I wasn't. But thank you.

Interesting I’ve had covid twice and currently on a period 5 weeks very heavy not been to a&e but have gynaecologists nurse Thursday morning did a&e do anything for you?

Feel free to add me

I've had Covid but my periods have been unmanageable for years so I've not noticed a difference

I'm on HRT patches now but have mood swings and fatigue

Did you have the vaccine? Not starting anything vax or anti vax. Just i haven't had my jabs and no issues. A few friends who have had it having same problem ,clotting excessive bleeding etc

@hayley A&E did blood tests, hormone levels to make sure it wasn't a pregnancy and a speculum examination which they said looked normal.... And sent me away with Transamanic acid. I'm flooded today, more clots so I'll call the GP first thing.

@Hilary that's really interesting. Yes triple jabbed. I'm a Midwife and can't really get out of the jab culture within a trust setting.... But i must say I'll put my foot down about a 4th.

@Sally you poor thing so the tablets haven’t helped I am going 7 am in the morning I was praying it would slow down by now 😢

@hayley no, this is day 9 I think, and I've not done anything excessive.... I nipped to the supermarket for 1 thing and literally I could see my jeans getting flooded... I panicked, went home and yup... 2 more large clots. I take iron supplements do you?

Ah bless u yeah I do from doctors been on them a couple of weeks now x

@hayley be interesting to see what assistance you get?.. Keep in touch. X

After having covid I noticed I skipped a period and then the next month had 2 very close together. I noticed my cycles have got lighter unsure if this bit directly related to covid. I went through a stage of very heavy periods n clots.

@Sally I'm also a nurse bit made my own informed decision at the time not to get it, iv absolutely no issue with those who choose to get it. Its a personal choice and rightly so but iv seen quite a lot in the last couple of years causing me to raise my eyebrows
