MyCycleStory

My Cycle Story is an independent research study that assesses and analyzes the incidence of women’s menstrual irregularities following the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The Science Department at Children’s Health Defense (CHD) is working with MyCycleStory, a team of researchers, physicians, statisticians and data analysts, to study the fertility issues and menstrual irregularities that have transpired after the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine.

In April 2022, CHD’s Senior Director of Science and Research, Brian Hooker, Ph.D., Ph.D., CHD’s Science and Research analyst and administrator, Heather Ray, and former CHD fellow Sue Peters, coauthored the peer-reviewed research study, “COVID-19 and the Surge in Decidual Cast Shedding,” published in The Gazette of Medical Sciences.

“COVID-19 and the Surge in Decidual Cast Shedding” is the first of three intended peer-reviewed studies that continue to open the conversation and give women a voice about the complex and problematic reproductive issues and menstrual irregularities that have profoundly increased since the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine.

In December 2024, Brian Hooker, Ph.D and Heather Ray coauthored the second peer-reviewed study, Menstrual Abnormalities Strongly Associated with Proximity to COVID-19 Vaccinated Individuals, with Sue Peters, Ph.D., as co-first author. This study addresses a “clean cohort” of 3390 survey respondents from the 2021 survey who did not take the COVID-19 vaccine, never tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, never experienced COVID-19 virus symptoms, and had no known prior spike protein exposure. Yet, these women in the “clean cohort” experienced the same menstrual abnormalities as those who received the COVID-19 vaccine.

Of the unvaccinated women who were indirectly exposed to the COVID-19 vaccine and reported being within six feet of proximity to vaccinated individuals, 71.7% experienced symptoms within one week of exposure and 50.1% experienced symptoms within three days. Of all vaccinated and unvaccinated survey respondents who experienced menstrual irregularities, over 92% first experienced symptoms in 2021, after the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The authors found that indirect exposure to COVID-19-vaccinated persons was significantly associated with the likelihood of the onset of menstrual irregularities.

There is a growing scientific literature on an association between the COVID-19 vaccines and menstrual irregularities. Several papers have been reported on in The Defender, and our team is excited to have the opportunity to contribute to these scientific reports.
