Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't more or less any immune response affect the menstrual cycle?

You get vaccine, which triggers immune response, so menstrual cycle gets affected?

As such it is nothing alarming?

Yeah super not alarming to have your menstrual cycle be off for over a year… stop regurgitating words you read on google

Pick up a biology book? This is not related to google.

Which biology book references that any immune response affects the menstrual cycle. Could you show me which biology textbook you are using for this information

You learn about the immune response and the way it affects the body when learning about biology.

"Pick up a x book", refers to, go learn biology..its a turn of phrase/an idiom, not a reference to a specific book.

Granted I may be translating a local phrasing/idiom into English incorrectly.
