They are essentially the same thing,
hormone-wise and effective-wise. The
difference is, the patch is a once a week
thing, while you have to take the pill
everyday...

I've used both and I would say I like the
patch better because you don't have to
remember to take a pill everyday at the
same time. With the patch it's a once a
week thing and I never forgot to change it
but with the pill I have so it's really up
to you they both have the same effiency.

So Don't Use the Patch Posted: 11-29-05 16:25pm
Now they're finding out that the patch can
give you a higher risk of blood clots
because it releases all the hormones
that'd you need over the week in the first
day. So if you want to be on the safe
side just get on the pill.
I think it's effective enough :)

Patch has had major problems with death, a
dozen last year in fact. I'd suggest
either pills or nuvaring. I use nuvaring
and think it's great. The pill has been
around since 1960, so if you can remember
to take it everyday at the same time
without messing with it, then try the
pill. Nuvaring is super simple and if you
eat right and take vitamins, you shouldn't
feel different than your same old self (at
least that's my experience). Talk to your
gyn about it, or look it up.
Www.Nuvaring.Com
there are also websites where you can find
info about various brands of the pill (the
whole archive of pills was too confusing
for me).
