I was on the patch and got pregnant and so
did my friend. I would double check with
your doctor.

I know a few people that have the patch,
they don't say anything about it and I
have never asked.
I know that everybody is different when it
comes to b/c.
I got pregnant while on the pill.
I would talk with your doctor and see
whats best for you.
Are you breastfeeding?

the B.c Patch Posted: 10-14-04 15:40pm
I was on the patch, it got me sick. I
felt like I was going thru pregancy. I
felt sick after eating and throw up after
two aclohol drink. It was the worst. You
guys should do your reseacrh before these
birth control. They cause short of
breath, blood cloths and etc. Read the
fine lines. Someone two months died from
it . It was on the t.V (primetime) that
hurts because was only 19(that's too
young). I'm off now and now I have head
aches all the time and feel sick and can't
eat anything. Just check with your doctor
first and ask alot of questions. My
doctor didn't tell me anything! Everybody
different. But if I know what I know then
I won't ever start it!

Congratulations!!
If you are nursing your son, the patch may
not be a good option for you, since it
could decrease your milk supply.

I was on the patch for three months before
I quit. I had a lot of problems getting
the patch to stick to my skin, mainly
because i'm overwieght and everywhere they
said to stick it is lumpy. However, when
I finally got one to stick, I couldn't get
it off!!! It took me three hours to peel
it off, and then I wound up with a
horrible rash on that spot that bled. It
was the worst. The patch also caused me
to have mood swings, and I was depressed
much of the time. Everyone's body is
different, so try the patch if you think
it will work for you. Just pay attention
to your body, and if you start getting
screwed up, stop using it. I would rather
forgo sex for a month til I could get
another kind of birthcontrol than have
medical problems from the patch.

Well I love the patch. Im experimenting
on placement right now, I usually wear it
on my lower tummy because its the only
place where it sticks nicely and my bikini
covers it. But now that im in utah im
trying my shoulder.
I dont have any side effects, last round I
was on...I was on for 3 months then
stopped just because I wasnt dating anyone
and didnt feel like getting my rx renewed.
I gained a bit of wait, but that may
have just been me being lazy over the
summer. I had some break through
bleeding due to the hormones the first
month my first time around, but this time
I havent had any. I think its a great
form of bc, its easy, as long as you are
careful enough not to quickly scratch
yourself thinking something is on you, and
find out it was a corner of your patch. I
love it, its worth a try....But if you are
nursing definitely ask you Dr. About
that.
