In this episode of the She's In Sync Podcast, Taylor dives deep into the complexities of hormonal health, focusing specifically on the issues of missing periods and irregular periods after stopping birth control. She highlights the importance of understanding the difference between a true period and withdrawal bleeding that can occur after stopping hormonal birth control.
