Post Birth Control Syndrome

Dr. Natalie Crawford discusses Chrissy Teigen and her vulnerability in sharing her fertility journey. Later, she explains the birth control pill and post-birth control syndrome—what it is and why people say it exists. There is a lot of misinformation about the birth control pill, and you should be able to make an informed decision about if it’s the right contraceptive for you.   

Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. This time, all about the pill! I was told the pill causes vitamin deficiencies, and I would need to purchase a post-birth control syndrome cleanse—is that true? What are the side effects and risks of taking the pill? Why did my doctor prescribe birth control after I was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst?
