  • Ep.13 - Vaxxed: Three Menstruators Get the Jab

    Ep.13 - Vaxxed: Three Menstruators Get the Jab
    Jul 22 2021
    Today we're talking about our first cycle after round one of the COVID vaccine with very special guest, Sonja Ingi. Sonja is WSM's editor and happens to have endometriosis. She had an interesting enough experience for us to coax her in front of the microphone. This is a touchy subject for a lot of people, so please don't get it twisted. We are NOT anti-vaxxers, we just thought it was interesting that so many people's cycles were effected, but there was no warning or info regarding this in the side effect and aftercare pamphlets. Please get the jab and stay safe, it ain't over yet!
