birth control
"I was on Loestrin for 4 years and then it changed to Minestrin. I skip my period every month due to my horrible cramps and no pill seems to help with them. My gynecologist suggest to me that I should skip my period. I switched to Chateal because after years of Loestrin/Minestrin, I think it stopped working properly. I was spotting and cramping and even tried to get my period and that was a mistake. Chateal has been wonderful so far. I am almost on my third month and I haven't had any issues. My cramping is gone and there has been no spotting at all. I haven't noticed any mood swings or any other side effects some people say they have. I haven't had any weight gain and I feel like my acne actually has gotten better. I rarely break out now."
