Birth Control Patch

I've been on it for about 8 months and I love that I don't have to take a pill.

However, I am MUCH MORE SENSITIVE right before my periods. I mean to the point of almost crying for no reason.

Anyone on this, and have similar reaction?

I don't find myself more sensitive, but I find that I have cramps before my period, which I never had previously. Plus, the skin in the patch area is SOOOOO itchy and leaves a mark for a while (I have really sensitive and really pale skin). Although I agree the patch is so much easier, I am thinking of switching back to pills.

I have notice that I itch wherever I put the patch. I went to move it once and ended up with a bruise and a scab. But otherwise no other symptoms have changed. I love not taking a pill every morning.
