During the pandemic, many women experienced high levels of stress as they took on a disproportionate share of child care and housework and dropped out of the labor force in large numbers.
Now, a new study suggests that all of this extra stress may have changed women's menstrual cycles in a variety of ways. Some women who reported high levels of stress also reported early or delayed periods. Others had heavier menstrual flow or increased spotting between cycles. Some women said that during pandemic stress, their periods lasted more days than usual, while others said their periods got shorter.
Martina Anto-Ocrah, an assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, who led the study, called the results "alarming," because of the effects an irregular cycle can have on fertility and mental health.
"This really extends beyond menstruation, it's about women's well-being," she said.
The study, published in Obstetrics & Gynecology, relied on self-reported data from 354 women between the ages of 18 and 45. Women were asked in early May 2021 to answer questions about their pandemic-related stress and report any menstrual cycle changes that occurred between March 2020 and May 2021.
Over half of the women surveyed reported changes in their menstrual cycle length, period duration, menstrual flow, or spotting, and 12 percent of women reported a change in all four measures. The researchers found a significant association between high levels of pandemic-related stress and changes in the menstrual cycle.
Younger women and women with previously diagnosed mental health conditions were more vulnerable to feeling high stress and experiencing menstrual cycle changes. The study authors noted the data were collected from a racially diverse and geographically representative sample. The women were not on birth control, menopausal or postmenopausal before the pandemic.

No, the vax is responsible for it, but ANYTHING but the vax.
Vax injury deniers.
Let me guess...ignore the jab effects, but blame it on stress? IIRC, Naomi Wolf has been pointing out studies on this and was damn near cancelled for her efforts.
Imagine that. Women dropping out of the labor force and taking on childcare and housework. NEver before in human history ... oh wait.
How about the side effects from the Covid shots and so called booster shots causing the changes.
No, it wasn’t the pandemic, it was climate change:

There’s nothing the pandemic can do that climate change can’t do better.
Notice this study failed to include a comparison between the vaxxed vs unvaxxed women, no doubt on purpose.
Last I heard they vaccine itself was reeking havoc on the menstrual systems.
The lengths some will go to in order to deny the jabs caused the problem.
Changed mine and I’m not even a woman.
‘Blood moon’ total lunar eclipse to take place early on Election Day. Primitive peoples thought that meant things.
There is also a Purple Moon and a Pink Moon.
Modern science says the linkage of 28-29 lunar cycles and female 28-29 day menstrual cycles was a myth although 30% of women seem to coincide with this.
Following article is some on myth and superstitious New Age stuff but interesting:

it was climate change:

The ‘political’ climate change messed up a lot, doubt it messed up periods. Political science rather than real science killed a lot of people, too.
Can’t blame the actual cause, the experimental mRNA “vaccines.”
Look! Squirrel!
Women and people of color, hurt most.
Women I know in the medical field attest to adverse affects on their menstrual systems, their coworkers', and their patients', for those who took the Jim Jones Jab.
It was an experimental gene therapy.
Forget the stress. It was the damn vax that has driven changes.
Lolololo yes by all means. It’s stress. Not the unknown poison they’ve stuck into their bodies. As if women have never endured stress before now.
It’s normal for a woman’s “cycle” to change now and then. Anything - the weather, new job, a plane trip, etc. - can change it.
Hahaha dropping out of the work force, letting the other suckers run in the rat race, making a house a home and raising your kids is the very definition of getting rid of stress!
