For Birth Control "The only reason I gave it two stars is because it's effective at doing its job, though it probably doesn't matter because I took Plan B quite a few times since this birth control made me throw up so often, nearly every morning I took it, sometimes at night as well since I took it at 9 pm. It also gave me MORE acne, and I bled for nearly 3 weeks after starting it, though it may be because I was switching to Chateal from the Depo shot. I switched off of the Depo shot because I gained 30 pounds and was extremely moody, but with this birth control, I am always having headaches, feeling nauseous, throwing up."

For Birth Control "Don’t get me wrong, the pill did its job! It made my period regular, and I didn’t end up pregnant while on the pill, but it had some crazy side effects to it. At the beginning, I started with just headaches, and slowly over time it caused me to have through the roof anxiety, depression, and nausea. It got to the point where I couldn’t take it anymore and had to stop taking the pill."

For Birth Control "I just recently moved, was not able to get back home to see my doctor for a visit for my birth control renewal, so I went to Planned Parenthood to get my birth control. They gave me Chateal instead of my usual. Chateal has been so hard on my body, I have diarrhea, headaches, dizziness, and loss of appetite. I took it only five days before stopping. I'm happy I did because also in that week when I stopped, it was my boyfriend and my two-year anniversary. We went to one of our favorite places for dinner, and that night he proposed to me! I said yes. I'm happy I stopped taking Chateal because if I still had that bad side effect of diarrhea, this special night could've been ruined."

For Birth Control "Pretty decent birth control, didn't give me any benefits. I still got acne that took forever to heal, but it is not as bad as when I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen. That one gave me horrible acne, also gave me headaches for like a week. Gonna switch back to the patch because it was the only one that works for me, and I'm done experimenting with different pills, lol."
