I was on Ortho Evra for 3months...and it sucked I had bad headaches, cramps, mood swings...and it made me sick to my stomach....and it ultimately caused me to get numbness in my fingers and weird side pain...so i stopped it...I started it a few days ago and the next day i was sick to my stomach and miserable....so no more patches for me...I don't take pills they make me very naseous and i can't swallow them...so I'm not too sure what type of bc I'm going to start now...my bf comes home in 9 days and I'm not sure what to do we are going to use condoms...but as for bc..I'm not too sure anymore.....ELISE
