Do the gardasil shots cause your period to be late?

Question

I had my first of three gardasil shots on August 14, 2008. My period was supposed to come on September 1st or 2nd and it is, as of today, 4 days late. I am sexually active (in a long distance relationship) so my boyfriend and I literally only had s*x once this month (on the 24th of August). We used a condom AND he pulled out before cumming. On TOP of things, I took a pregnancy test yesterday because I was freaked out at the idea of my period being late (my period is like clock work) and it was negative.

The gardasil is literally the only thing this month I can think of that I did differently this past month. (Other ideas range from being stressed out with college classes starting up again, but I've been stressed before and my period has always come.)

SO my question is, could gardasil cause a menstrual cycle to come late?

Answer 1

After looking this up online I feel as though it may have some effect on late periods. I had my first two shots while I was on the pill and had my period at its regular time. I came off the pill after my second shot however and got my period regularly at exactly 28 days each cycle. After my last gardasil shot which was March 11th I expected my period the 18th. It's the 24th and I still haven't gotten it. I've also taken two pregnancy tests with negative results and have had cramping since last week. I wouldn't say that gardasil is specifically to blame, but when you take a vaccine you become immunocompromised which can lead to a delayed period.

Answer 4

I think so. I am now 3 days late..yeah it could be from stress...but i have a gut feeling it was from garasil. i'm SUPER regular. Same time same day every month. (and from looking around the internet...it's not JUST happened to us).  My bf and i didn't exactly have s*x (stuck it in, pulled it out WITH condom)...so i don't think pregnancy is an option.

In my opinion, YES gardasil CAN CAUSE late period
