| 1 | Pregnancy prevention | Bloating, HORRIBLE mood swings, HORRIBLE feeling of wanting to vomit everyday I wore the patch, lost weight, depression, anxiety, not interested in daily responsibilities much at all, when I did have an appetite I could never eat much which caused the weight loss, my boyfriend hates BC all around at this point because I was turned into a monster basically. He felt really bad for me because of all the pain this patch was causing me. I also had the rash that is still there till this day. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!! | F | 19 | 3 months 30MG | 4/18/2013 | 1 | yes | After the second day off using the patch it started itching, after the first weekwhen I change my patch the spot where the first patch was was red for a whole week after the red mark went away it turned into A itchy dry peeling mark with small scabs over it!!! I will never use this method again... | F | 21 | 3 weeks | 4/17/2013 | 1 | hormone replacement | Put on patch for five hours. Horrible chest pain and insomnia. I would not recommend this to anyone. Ripped it off and have been up all night. | F | 47 | 1 days | 4/13/2013 | 3 | I just went on the ortho evra 3 weeks ago, the first day I put it on i was good the next day I experienced dizziness nausea and vomiting. 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 | 1 | switch from depo because of weight | When I first started the patch I was pretty pleased. My bf and I had tons of sex, no baby. That's the point right? That lasted for 7 of the 8 months Ive been on it. Over the last month, I've been experiencing extreme nausea, fatigue, and depression. Sex drive has went from 10 to 0 all in about a month. My breast were always sore for a few days after a new patch, but I never had any other noticeable side effects. The patch leave a horrid dark rash on the application site on the shape of the patch that I haven't been able to get rid of. All in all were all different, so I know side effects will vary. It worked well for me for about 7 months, but now that the side effects have come with a vengeance I wouldn't recommend. No weight gain that I noticed, but very bad nausea, fatigue, depression, and dark rashes have driven me to seek a different contraceptive. | F | 21 | 8 months | 4/1/2013 | 4 | birth control | I always put the patch on my pelvis and only bad thing is it gets irritated every now and then. I have never had a prolonged period from this product. Unquenchable hunger ever so often. | F | 18 | 2 years 1x a week | 3/25/2013 | 5 | prevent pregnancy | I have been on ortho evra since I was 17 and had no trouble. I briefly tried other contraceptives that were more cost effective and hated them. The high dose of hormones has worked wonders for my pms. I reccommend putting the patch on your shoulders; it stays put easier there. | F | 24 | 7 days | 3/22/2013 | 3 | Birth Control | As soon as I put it on I experienced a slight headache but ended up taking something to get rid of it. Since than I have only applied it to my buttocks because it irritated & hurts when I have put it on my pelvic bone. I still have a scab where I put it, & its been about two weeks. It likes to fall off so I have had to put on an extra about twice. My breasts are sore and tender, but a plus it makes your breasts more engorged. A negative is I am hungry all the time & have started gaining weight from this, as well as having HORRIBLE mood swings, which have started to affect my relationships with friends, family & significant other. I'm on my fourth week, with the patch off & Its been four days & still no period. | From the looks of it, I'm thinking I am going to stop using this product and just go solo! Goodbye big breasts and weight gain! Hello happier me! | F | 19 | 4 weeks 1 patch 1X W | 3/21/2013 | 1 | birth control | Pain in abdomen and area near ovaries, severe shooting pain through "mound". Period lasting 28+ days!! trouble sleeping, mood swing, emotional, depression, easy to get very angry. Insatiable appetite but feel sick afterward. | I started on the first day of my period and followed the instruction on 1 patch a week i noticed that i was having abnormal cramping and thought it was just my period acting up like it occasionally did. Then after a week of this and my period continuing i was concerned as to why i was still bleeding. As of right now with my period being over a month long i am moody and annoyed all the time. I talked to my doctor and she said i was a hot mess and didnt help me at all!! This birth control only works because I'm bleeding 24/7 and cant have sex.. :( | F | 18 | 3 weeks 30 MG 1X W | 3/19/2013 | 1 | birth control | Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, bloating (I guess from the lack of me eating) abdominal cramps, HORRIBLE mood swings, constant exhaustion, abnormal dreams, and severe boobie tenderness. Only positive is that my sex drive was increased 10x. Back to the NuvaRing I go. | F | 17 | 3 weeks | 3/12/2013 | 3 | Irregular periods | Nausea, Vommitting, breast tenderness and itching, rash, sudden onset migraine lasting for several days, cold all the time (I'm usually hot or comfortable), waking up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep. | F | 19 | 4 weeks 1X Week | 3/11/2013 | 1 | Changed from pill due to busy life | Put patch on and all fine however after 24 got a severe headache, light sensitivity and a strange numb sensation in my neck, shoulders and down the leg where patch was. Also very bad nausea and felt dizzy. I took the patch off but the symptoms continued for a few hours. 48 hours on and dizziness still there and feel very tired. | F | 26 | 1 days 1 patch wk | 3/6/2013 | 1 | Changed from pill due to busy life | Put patch on and all fine however after 24 got a severe headache, light sensitivity and a strange numb sensation in my neck, shoulders and down the leg where patch was.

I haven't had any issues yet. Works just fine, period came when it was suppose to, no spotting. I feel the same as if I was taking the pill. | F | 25 | 4 weeks | 2/17/2013 | 1 | Birth control | Shortness of breath , tight chest , palpitations . | 1 months | 2/2/2013 | 1 | birth control | Naseau extreme breast tenderness acid reflex tiredness horrid mood swings vaginal discharge headaches dry mouth depression lost of social skills blisters at patch site body aches horrible | F | 32 | 3 weeks | 1/19/2013 | 3 | To keep the babies away | Lost some weight ,severe anxiety, nausea and barfing, INSANE mood swings, no sex drive at all, hungry but lost interest in food. | The whole reason I found this site is cuz I was freaking out and i'm almost scared at how violent my moods are becoming. Like at this very instant i'm bawling my eyes out, starving but everything makes me wanna puke, and wishing I could break everything in sight. On the flip side i'm not preggers, I lost a bunch of weight, my periods are light, and the patch is easy to remember ( I always forgot to take the pill everyday hence the patch) I'm going to keep taking it until my prescription runs out cuz I'd rather suffer this temporary hell than have an unwanted pregnancy. | F | 25 | 5 months 1X W | 12/23/2012 | 4 | heavy bleeding/prevent pregnacy | I was on the depo s*** for a little over 9 months and six months into I would bit stop bleeding. Although I had no cramps and it was initially a little flow it got heavier with time, I stopped taking it and decided to start the patch; its been pretty nice so far except the EXTREME breast sensitivity. I haven't gotten to the 4th week were I'm suppose to take it off but I think all will go fine. If not ill comment to keep updated. I've read a lot of comments and experiences of other with the match and most weren't great but everyone is effected differently. I will continue to talk with my doctor and keep watch on any other side effects, this page has help me greatly as to know what I should look for. | F | 18 | 3 weeks | 12/22/2012 | 1 | birth control | just put my first patch on today, and already ready to rip it off, can't sleep, whole body is aching, massive migraine since bout 10minutes after applying, horrid cramps, flutters (almost like the first few a baby makes) dizzy almost wanna faint!!!
