I've tried the patch for a couple of days
now, and as a rule I take a couple of
showers a day, since it is summer, and I
go to the gym, sometimes twice a day. I
am finding hte patch is getting loose or
moving after my intense sweaty workouts
and shower. Its on my butt right now. Is
this possibly just not the right birth
control for me due to my lifestyle? I
dont want to constantly be worried about
whether or not its sticking or is being
effective.

I had the same problem with the patch. I
must admit, though, it got better in the
winter months when I didn't sweat as much
or shower twice a day. I found that it
usually worked better wearing it on my
front, lower abdomen rather than my butt,
but the problem with that is it would fold
over when i'd sit down, which would cause
it to start coming off. In the winter I
wore it on my shoulder since it was
covered, and that was perfect. But I
eventually switched off because it was
just too much of a hassle. Maybe the
nuva ring would be a good option for you.
