I'm on the patch, this is my second month
now. I usually place it on my arm because
I find it stays on there the best. But
near the end of the week I notice the
edges start to become loose and wrinkled.
I was wondering if this would affect the
amount on medicine im getting and if I
could get pregnant if the edges become too
loose? Does anyone else have this
problem? What are some other good places
to put the patch?

I am on the patch also and I am not sure
if it will affect you with the edges
coming up. I put my patch on the butt
cheek because I find it sticks better
there. Before you put the patch on clean
the area where you are going to put it
with either rubbing alcohol (make sure it
dries good) or peroxide (making sure it
dries good). Then put the patch on and
rub your fingers around the edges for a
minute or so. Making sure that its stuck
down good. Thats what I do and I have no
problems.
