My VA was well under control but I had a massive amount of blood in my urine 4 days after the second 💉.

Went on for a few days. I was scared it was cancer as it wasn't an infection, and had a scan, which was fine. The conclusion was that it was VA. Never had it like that before. Urine was actually red like raspberryade, sorry if a bit gross.

I just thought it was a bad flare up but now I think it was the AZ. Still glad I had it though (the vaccination that is).

3 months later, it is all under control, so I think our levels will recover. It's when things like this happen that I'm very glad of the Internet, or I'd never have put them together. Lola's post was very interesting on this re the estradiol drop.   ???

Just came across this post while looking for vaccine side effects. A few weeks after my 2nd AZ dose I started getting symptoms of a UTI but not the usual stinging when peeing more the urge to go and also the odd flush, now I’m getting anxiety in the mornings. I’ve been on Femeston Conti for the last 3 years and was absolutely fine on it so why the return of symptoms now when I’d been so well?
I’ve been taking Vagifem every day for the last 2 weeks to see if it’ll help and there’s a slight improvement will see the doc next week.
I’m convinced the vaccine is to blame for symptoms returning,still glad I got it though.
Does anyone know if the symptoms will subside or get worse?

My meno symptoms returned for about a month following the AZ jab. Can't help with the va as it isn't something I suffer from but if it's due to the loss of oestrogen efficacy perhaps it will similar timescales.

Hi I had phizer, but have since felt that last month or 2 my hrt doesn’t seem to be working as well as before, return of anxiety, sweats flushes and generally how I felt before I started hrt. I got my estrogen levels checked and they have went from 527 to 217. I wonder if any more ladies have felt this with phizer jab?🙁

How long since you had the jab? It might just be coincidence that your own levels fell around the same time.

Hi pink68, I had the  AZ vaccine not Pfizer,  but I found it took three months after my second dose  before things levelled off and settled down again. After my second dose I had frequent urination and my hrt wasn’t working as well as usual. ( return of hot flushes, anxiety, insomnia) I did initially add an extra half of a patch but it didn’t help much so I reduced down to my usual one patch.
I’m convinced it was the vaccine that caused the symptoms as things have now returned to normal. I have to say I was  surprised it took so long to regulate as I thought it  would only take a month at the most.
