I LOVE the patch!!!!! I had so many problems with the pill, but I haven't had any on the patch! Good luck! I'm sure you'll love it too!

I am seriously considering asking for the patch. It ****s trying to remember to take that dam pill and my stomach dropps whenever I remember after I forget.
Any problems with the patch? Does it fall off?

Weezie-my patch fell off once when it got stuck to my pants and got pulled off. I have gone swimming with it numerous times and of course shower with it everyday and it's been fine. If it does come off though, your dr gives you a back up prescription or a back up patch.
I ALWAYS forgot my pill and the patch has been perfect!!

I love the Patch!!! Haven't had any problems. Only came off once but it was towards the end of the week and I was in the bath for over an hour. I just used my backup patch. I highly recommend it. I was also forgetting to take my pill or would be to lazy to get out of bed to take it.

I hated the patch. I have sensitive skin and it made my skin gross underneath. Yuck! It might work for you if you don't have sensitive skin though.

another patch fan...

and I put that patch through a lot...it has never come off...and its been almost a year!!

I even sit in a hot tub everyday!!! workout...swim...its great!!

I did gain weight, but my GYN said it wasn't the patch...just me eating too much...which is true (post-wedding weight)

I did once get some bumps/irritation...but as long as you move it around (one butt cheek to the other) I haven't had any other problems...

if the patch doesn't work for you...you may want to try the depo shot...(thats what I asked for...but she put me on the patch instead)...its the #1 BC in Europe...one shot...every 3 months...no period EVER!!

WOW LADIES.... After I put on the patch I started get dizzy and naseua............ the patch kicked in real quick.... I know your spoused to wear a patch for one week change then change it again for the 3rd week and leave it off on the 4th but thats when I getting married so I'm going to leave it on.... and when myHawaii honeymoon is over I will remove the patch and hopefully I will get my period before I go to fl for fiance neices party
