Additional information: Event narrative: I received the Pfizer vaccine first dose 15Apr2021, and 2 hours after injection started menstruating. This was 7 day earlier than my cycle should have started and I have very regular, predictable cycle. I am not on any birth control or medication. The main side effect was lower back pain and headache. My second dose also Pfizer, on 06May2021 - I started menstruating 2 day after receiving the vaccine this was also only 3 weeks after my previous menstruating date the side effect of my menstruation were more heavy flow normal heavy cramping and flow almost felt like contractions squeezing and subsequent heavy flow for 2 days, then it tapered off like a normal period. I also experienced headaches and exhaustion. Since the earlier out of cycle timing and proximity to my vaccine injection it seems they are related.
