July Covid Thread

[chilerellanos]

I’m always incredibly regular. Like, to the hour.

I had Covid earlier this month, and my bf was on a two week work trip (so we hadn’t seen each other in three weeks since I didn’t see him before he left since I was sick).

He got home late last night so I was over there this morning, and we had sex and my period started 5 days early.

Idk if it was the Covid screwing with my cycles or not, but I’m never early or late.🤷🏼‍♀️

I haven’t had covid, but every dose of vaccine/booster messed up my period dramatically.

[lea]

I missed one period after one of my shots (either second or the booster). I also skipped my period the same week I had COVID but whether it’s related or coincidental who knows.

I am always very regular. Got Covid at the beginning of this month, then my period one week later right on time. But then two weeks later I had 3 days of surprise moderate bleeding again. Not sure WTF that was all about, and now I'm curious what will happen next month. Plus I'm currently in the middle of yet another upper respiratory illness with coughing and laryngitis that is testing negative and doesn't feel the same as Covid did earlier (which also felt like a cold, but was more snotty/sinus focused). And I had two back-to-back colds back in May, too.

It almost feels like my immune system is making up for lost time from having lived two years in relative-ish isolation.

That's how it was after my booster. Periods every 3ish weeks for a few months. SUCKED

Well I got my period this morning 6 days after I tested positive so right on time. Guess it was just the vax and booster that fucked with me.

Next month will be more telling if you ovulated before you got infected. I had my period during my infection like normal and the following month (this month) was all screwed up.

Makes sense. We'll see what happens

I love the cold or Covid game. I am on day 2 of a sore throat. No other symptoms except a slightly runny nose. No known exposures (I’ve been home pretty much all week) and tests are negative.

Mine is Covid or allergies. Ugh.

I didn’t think about allergies. I don’t usually get them in the summer but that’s what this feels like. I sneezed a ton on Thursday — that seems to have stopped — but now a cough has kicked in. Feels like post nasal drip. Negative test late last night.

This is annoying. I’m supposed to fly to see my parents on Tuesday night and I haven’t seen them in a year. And I don’t want to give them Covid.

SAME. My husband said with this new Omicron, symptoms show up awhile before positive tests though. Ugh.

I’ve been isolating since symptoms started on Thursday (not from my family, but they all just had Covid). So I guess either way I’m on day 3? I hate this game.

pixy0stix, I tell everyone when I call them to prescribe it, that they will have a nasty metallic taste in their mouth. It's reportedly awful

One patient said that the only thing they found to help was horseradish. So if that is something you keep in your fridge, try it.

Covid positive hit my house on a Thursday but symptoms started Tuesday night (very light).

For me, I tested positive on a Sunday but I felt crappy the day before.

pixy0stix I saw a Tiktok that said cinnamon candy gets rid of the taste. The creator ate hot tamales and said it worked.
