Chateal for Premenstrual Syndrome User Reviews

"When I first took these, I had no problems. I ran out and switched back to Microgestin. Once I ran out of those, I started back taking Chateal. Let's just say it's horrible. I got them December 19, 2016, and started having this sticky white discharge. Then came the spotting. I have not stopped spotting since then. It's now February. I went from a 38D bra to a 40DD. All my clothes are too small because my hips and butt are getting so big. My once flat stomach is even getting a pouch. I didn't get acne because I don't have acne-prone skin, but my sex drive does not exist. I've had vaginal dryness, and I feel very aggressive and irritated quickly. I'm not sexually active right now, so I think I'll cool it on the pills. My blood pressure even went up."

"Chateal has helped my PMDD so much. I do not take the placebos, so don't get much withdrawal bleeding. It can kill your sex drive, though."

"This wrecked my mood completely. I had the worst PMS I've had since I started my period. It is overall awful!"

"This helped my PMDD, however, it makes sex painful, no matter how much lubrication I use. It also caused me to develop post-coital dysphoria, which I never experienced before I went on the pill. This pill also lowers libido, which can be positive or negative, depending on who you are."
