I have been on the patch for almost 3 years now and have loved it! The patch is easy to use, effective, and my breasts grew a whole cup size w/ little to no other weight gain on my body! My only complaint is that lint tends to stick around the edges, giving it that old band-aid look - gross!

I never had a good experience w/ any birth control pill I have tried. I tried the patch and loved it. I had a increase in sex drive, lost weight, mood was great, and when it was time for my period it came w/ no pms. My reason for stopping it was only because of the controversy aroudn it.

I tried loestrin fe and became a emotional mess after a year after I stopped it I went right back to my old self so I knew it was the pill. I just got a pres for ortho tri cyclen and if that one doesnt work for me I will go back to the patch... I recommend it highly, give it a try.

I was on the patch for approximately a year and a half. I had to stop b/c it gave me severe migraines consistently. I didn't know what was causing the migraines at first but after talking to friend who had the same issue and stopped the patch I decided to stop the patch also. It turned out it was the patch causing the migraines. I did not have a good experience with this.

After using the pill for many years and always having trouble taking it consistently I decided to try the patch. It seemed easy, but once I put it on I was constantly worried it was pealing off. I changed it many times and that was quite expensive. I also experienced very tender breasts and other side effects. Finally I gave up after a few months. I switched to the Ring and I am very happy.

Now I worry about BC once a month and I haven't had any of those horrible side effects.

I've been on the patch for almost 2months now. The patch is great because i dont have to remember to put it on everyday. However, i gained 10pounds in less than 2months of using it. My breasts, inbetween my upper thighs and my lower abdomen itch a lot. I've been miserable, i feel like i'm pregnant constantly even though i'm not. I'm always bloated. I was highly upset with the weight gain. I would ... Show Full Comment

I've been on the patch for almost 2months now. The patch is great because i dont have to remember to put it on everyday. However, i gained 10pounds in less than 2months of using it. My breasts, inbetween my upper thighs and my lower abdomen itch a lot. I've been miserable, i feel like i'm pregnant constantly even though i'm not. I'm always bloated. I was highly upset with the weight gain. I would recommend trying the drug but once you start having the symptoms quicly find another replacement birth control. The pill is annoying to remember but i had less issues with it. I guess because it has less hormones.
