Without doubt almost every Monday I am very ill. When I put it on after my period I can't even get out of bed the next day. | F | 21 | 1 years 30 | 11/30/2015 | 4 | just too be safe | Nothing changed too much. I crave ice constantly all day long!

First week, went smooth, zero side effects. Was so happy with it!Put my second patch on and my life became hell!...( last 72 hrs) Continues severe cramps, abdominal pains, exhausted all the time but can't fall asleep, back pain, extreme nausea (threw up couple of times) . I have never felt this nauseous before, even with my daughter. All the smells would make me sick, wanting to go throw up. Can't eat anything but hungry all the time! Hot flashes, chills. Started bleeding again( enough for a change of tampons) . I can't do it anymore. I took the patch off. There is no snowballs chance in hell, i would " wait out all of these" to see if it gets better. I already cant take it. The side effects are too much for me to deal with. I so regret even trying this. | F | 26 | 10 days 1X W | 10/31/2015 | 1 | Pregnancy prevention | I put the patch on 5th day of my period. First week, went smooth, zero side effects.

I already cant take it. The side effects are too much for me to deal with. I so regret even trying this. | F | 26 | 10 days 1X W | 10/31/2015 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy | Lighter period, some period clotting, headaches, Minor skin irritation | I completely 100% love my birth control my only complaint is that I wish they where more water proof for the pool, or bathing. I LOVE how easy it is to just remember to change it one day. | F | 18 | 2 years | 10/28/2015 | 4 | Medical reasons | Low sex drive, mood swings, migraines during the off week, less cramps, lighter and shorter periods | I took it to help alleviate the extremely heavy periods I had before. It certainly did its job, I have a 4-5 day period now instead of 10, and cramps are almost non existent and mild painkillers help them go away. However, I am experiencing a really bad diminish in my sex drive and severe mood swings. If you have a history of any kind of depressive or anxiety disorder, I wouldn't recommend this patch. Other than that, it's worked great for me | F | 18 | 7 months | 10/11/2015 | 1 | Severe cramps, continuous heavy flow period, feelings of Depression, crying for no reason, weight gain, faintness | During my weeks on the patch, I continuously had a period for about two of those weeks along with very painful cramps, I took my patch off and it basically emotionally broke me! Crying all the time for little or no reason, feeling anxious or worried for no reason, feeling dizzy and faint all the time. I would definitely NOT recommend the patch. Particularly if you suffer from a history of depression I have found out the emotional side affects can be hugely heightened which I was not made aware of when getting the patch! | F | 18 | 1 months | 9/2/2015 | 3 | Regulation, prevention of pregnancy | Weight gain, acne, breast tenderness, mood swings, migraines, heavy flow, cramping, burnt/discoloured skin | I've been using the patch now for nearly 9 months and it's done a great job preventing pregnancy. However, sometimes it falls off and it's hard to stick it back on. I experienced severe weight gain when I switched to the patch (20lbs.) and my breasts always seemed to be tender. I get migraines at least 3 times a week, however that may be caused by an eye condition I have so I'm not sure whether the birth control is to blame. During my periods, I experienced light flow for 2 days and then extremely heavy flow for 2 days and spotting for the remainder. The flow is heavier than I've ever experienced to the point where I'm changing my tampon almost hourly. On top of that, my cramps are through the roof. Midol doesn't help and neither does extra strength ibuprofen, Advil, aspirin – nothing makes it go away. The patch is itchy and every week when I removed my patch, my skin under and around the patch is red, bumpy, and burnt. Also just today when I removed my patch I noticed that around where the edges of the patch were my skin is yellow. Although this prevents pregnancy very well, I would not recommend this product if you have sensitive skin. It has worked for me, but the side effects are insane and I'm seriously considering changing products or stopping birth control altogether. | F | 20 | 9 months | 8/15/2015 | 1 | Stop periods or at least help with | Nausea and trouble breathing within 30 minutes. | I had my first patch on for 30 minutes. Was already nauseous and felt like it was extremely hard to breathe. I took it off a little bit ago. I don't know if my dosage was too high, or what. But I'm done with birth control it all makes me sick! | F | 17 | 1 days | 8/15/2015 | 3 | Sexually active in a relationship | Redness, itchiness, burning after taking the patch off. | I started on the patch because I was sexually active with my partner and wanted to make sure I was on birth control and also to regulate my period. I loved the patch. It was the best birth control method I've been on. Recently, when I would wear the patch, it would be so itchy. I would take the patch off on the Sunday to switch them and I would have a red, burn/welts where the patch was. It's extremely painful and not worth it. I am not switching birth controls because this has been happening and its only getting worse. I would recommend this product because its so convenient but once you start, if you start, getting side effects or something like this... SWITCH methods. | F | 19 | 5 months 3X M | 8/10/2015 | 4 | Birth control and control cramps | Weight gain, migraines, irritability, depression, moodiness | While on it I never got cramps, where without it I would have such bad cramps I couldn't get out of bed. I didn't get pregnant. It's easy to remember to change for those like me who can't remember to take a pill everyday. The migraines and weight gain just became too much. And I've been off it for 3 months and haven't gotten my period since. | F | 25 | 6 years | 8/9/2015 | 1 | To control cramps | I got my first migraine with aura just after starting Ortho Evra, at age 20. I stopped taking it after the migraines wouldn't stop, especially since the patch just fell off. Every birth control I've tried since, even Lo Loestrin, triggered migraines again, so I stopped taking them entirely several years ago. It's been eleven years, and I still get migraines at least once a month because I used the patch once. | F | 31 | 1 months 1X AN | 7/13/2015 | 3 | Birth control | Was ok for first few months now experiencing constant headaches!!! Hot flushes now and again!! & periods are heavier than they was before on birth control | Stopped pregnancy for last 6 months... | F | 20 | 6 months | 5/23/2015 | 3 | Prevent Pregnancy | EXTREME MOODINESS,depression,anxiety,decerase sex drive,extremely irritable, me and my bf fight constantly because of my "issues" .. getting off this ASAP. I didn't relize all this started until I realized that all my issues happened when I started this patch, BUT it did prevent pregnancy. Side effects are just to much, its ruining my relationships all around. | F | 23 | 2 years 1X W | 5/23/2015 | 5 | birth control | 1X day | 5/16/2015 | 2 | pregnancy prevention | I just cant take it no more nauseous, vomiting, an soome stomach pain before I dont think ive gotten this sick but feels bad | F | 22 | 7 days | 3/27/2015 | 5 | PREVENT PREGNANCY! | None | I MISS ORTHO EVRA WE SHOULD HAVE A CHOICE TO PICK WHAT WE WANT ORTHO EVRA STICK SO TIGHTLY EVEN IN THE POOL ND TUB I HATE DIS NEW PATCH UMA CRY ITS THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN I LOVE YOU ORTHO EVRA ! OXOXOXO | F | 18 | 1 years | 3/25/2015 | 4 | to be safe :) | Bloating, severe weight gain, cravings to sugars and sweets, some occasional bleeding, and breast tenderness | I loved taking the evra patch it was so easy to take since you only take it once a week and that way your not worrying everyday about if I took the pill or not. I just recently stopped due to the fact me and my husband are thinking of starting a family soon and I want it to clear my system before we start to try. Hands down try this method of BC I so recommend it | F | 23 | 4 years | 3/23/2015 | 2 | contraceptive | Acne, tenderness at patch site | I had mild acne to begin with from a reaction to Implanon. Within two days of wearing Ortho Evra my acne worsened severely. | F | 25 | 7 days | 3/5/2015 |
