Through out the week I had it it went away the second week when I placed a new one again nausea and vomiting then ill be fine a couple of days later now that I'm on the third week I'm experiencing nausea everyday. It works good but it's not for me I feel terrible!! | F | 3 weeks | 4/6/2013 | 2 | Prevent pregnancy | Sleepless nights, bruising from where the patch was, extreem mood swings, bloating, lower back pain, breast tenderness (the hole time the patch was on!), decrease in sex drive.. | F | 1 months | 2/5/2012 | 2 | yes | breast tender, increase in size | well when i started the patch it was great for the first week, but then the second week i started feeling pains in my body,and my breast started to hurt like crazy! i'm already a DD in size and i increased in size! i gain weight also! but i stop the patch because of discomfort, but its the next month and i have not seen my period! is this common after takin the patch!! | M | 1 months | 1/28/2009 | 1 | Birth control | Severe depression. Migraine, nausea, fatigue, light headedness | F | 2 days | 6/12/2014 | 1 | thought it was convenient | dizziness, irritation, heart palpatations | my healthcare provider tried to bullshit me when i told them of my symptoms and told me that it was the lowest levdel of hormones they could prescribe to me. BUT at my initial app't. the nurse told me she didn't feel right giving it to me b/c she thought it was dangerous. now I have heart problems. | M | | 6/13/2008 | 1 | Birth control | Shortness of breath , tight chest , palpitations . | 1 months | 2/2/2013 | 5 | birth control, treating acne | none. | I love ortho evra. It's midly helped my acne, and I've had little weight gain, only in my boobs which is a plus. I would strongly reccomend this product to first time birth control users like myself. | F | 15 | 2 weeks | 10/19/2009 | 5 | acne, painful cramps, heavy period | mild nausea the second day of each patch, which decreased over a few months, mild headaches the first week of every cycle, which also decreased. | I love the patch, but every body does respond to medications differently. I experienced weight loss, increased cup size, lighter periods, my cramps are almost nonexistent, and my acne is greatly reduced. | F | 16 | 4 months | 9/20/2009 | 5 | Contraception | minor weight gain, headaches | I love this. It does its job. It is easier to remember than the pill. the only thing that worries me is if it is as effective as the pill. | F | 16 | 6 months | 2/21/2006 | 5 | Prevent Pregnancy | Migraines, Stomach pain | So far ortho evra has been working very well for me, I usually have high anxiety but with this product my anxiety has been lowered and my mood has improved. | F | 16 | 2 weeks 1X W | 7/17/2011 | 5 | Breast Size Increase And Tenderness | I Like It | F | 16 | 9 days 1X W | 1/11/2011 | 4 | Prevent pregnancy and reduce period | None so far. | I started the patch yesterday morning, highly expecting to become sick because I had also been drinking the night before. But I have yet to feel anything wrong or different with my body besides the patch site being itchy. My stomach is fine, and my breasts feel fine. I felt no change in libido either, and was able to have sex last night. Hopefully, I won't have any problems. I am concerned about the risks though. | F | 16 | 2 days | 1/11/2009 | 4 | Regulate Periods | Works fine, regulated my periods and cleared up my acne by a dozen. However makes me eat a lot and slight digestive problems and emotional problems. However does it's job. The residue when taking off is gross and the process of replacing it is a little painful. Everything else is all good! | F | 16 | 6 months | 12/6/2013 | 3 | Pregnancy prevention | Nausea, vomitting, loss of apettite, migraines | F | 16 | 11 months | 1/18/2010 | 3 | Extreme period pains | COMPLETE LOSS OF INTEREST IN SEX (Boyfriend isn't too happy!), Sore breasts, I never feel full, Always hungry but never really want to eat, have lost weight since being on the patch, REALLY BAD DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY, always feel down, get upset really easily, bad temper, (surprisingly have much cleaner skin), get bad back pains sometimes. :/ | The patch was horrible the first time I put it on! Had really bad stomach pains and headaches but it eventually died down after a month or so. The patch has honestly helped me with my period pains; I used to be in severe pain once on my period but now only have a little cramp and have light bleeding :) The biggest downside to patch is that it has made me hate sex. I'm never in the mood for it when I'm wearing the patch (has caused bad problems with my relationship), but as soon as I take the patch off and my period comes I'm suddenly in the mood for sex. I have also noticed that I have back pain most of the time and that I am going through a bad stage of some kind of depression! Always feeling down and always feel like everyone hates me. I would recommend the patch (although it has bad side affects) as It has definitely helped with my period pains and it protects from little kiddies popping out of me. hehehehe ;) | F | 16 | 1 years 1X W | 5/10/2012 | 3 | Cramps | painful, irritating burn marks on skin where patch was placed that lasted a couple weeks Moodiness and Irritability | It did help the cramps but i switched to the pill and it is much better. i found it doesnt have any side effects | F | 16 | 12 months | 10/19/2005 | 1 | Im getting sever stomach cramps | sharp stomach cramps | F | 16 | 5 weeks 1X W | 5/7/2011 |
