"i am about to start my third pack of chateal. background on me: i&#039;m 27 years old, married, and have had one child (almost 6yo), no other pregnancies. before i had my daughter i had a very regular cycle. for the past few years things have become very irregular. my dr. has run many tests and doesn&#039;t have  an explanation for it, but decided to have me try b/c pills to regulate my cycle. the first month was not great. i spotted for 2+ weeks. no other symptoms to speak of. this past month i got my period 24 hours after taking my  first green (placebo) pill. had an average period in terms of length and flow. no spotting! so i think i&#039;ve adjusted to it. hoping this month goes smoothly as well."
