"this pill was the first kind of birth control my doctor recommended me with. i was very nervous at first because she said it would help with my size and because i have had chronic episodes of anemia. i also had the fears of every girl: gaining weight, acne, mood swings, and the contraceptive failing. i&#039;ve been on chateal for a year now and none of those things have occurred! i&#039;m very happy with this pill and will renew my prescription."
