happen, side effects, and getting your period back post BC (stress,
anxiety, gut distress, thyroid changes) -Taking control of your
fertility after BC- steps you can take -Testing hormones- when to
check and when not to check (if you are on BC or don’t know where
you are in your cycle- testing isn’t accurate!). -Doctor’s
dismissing symptoms- why you must never surrender your health! My
