"i&#039;ve been on chateal for two years. i was very nervous to start birth control but i&#039;m glad they started me on this one. i got it from my local pp. the things i noticed: i have very thick hair and i feel like my hair has thinned out since starting it. my boobs felt slightly bigger/more sensitive after starting it. it also causes my appetite to fluctuate a lot. i actually lost weight on this in the first year, to the point where i was underweight, and recently i have gained some back. chateal has been awesome. i switched insurance half way through and both cover it. everyone is different but this one has worked well for me. no pregnancy!"
