according to u.s. naturopath jolene brighten — a self-described leading expert on post-birth control syndrome and host of an “awareness week” featuring canadian naturopaths and chiropractors — the phenomenon arises within the first four to six months after going off the pill, the patch or other hormonal options, “and can be as drastic as total loss of your period.” women can also experience symptoms such as hair loss, libido loss, insomnia, leaky gut, heavy periods, painful periods or irregular or nonexistent ones, brighten says, adding that the syndrome is “100 per cent reversible,” given the right diet, lifestyle and supplement therapy.
