Ortho Evra and birth control

I was on the Ortho Evra patch in 2005, I had so much complications, blood clots, chest pain and nausea. I hated it, I hated the gummy paste left on my body and the feeling I got when I put a new patch on.

Please be careful if you plan on using this birth control.

I was on the patch for a year and a half. The only reason I stopped being on the patch was because my insurance got cancled.lol. But when I got new insurance I decided to get a different birth control because of all the negativity surrounding the patch. It was great for me though. No real side effects, it eased my Menstral cramps drastically to the point where I did not even need pain killers for the cramps! After a while the only other thing I began to not like about the patch is the fact that it was exterior...and because of the site on which I wore my patch (my buttocks) I thought it made my sexy lingerie pieces look a little off...sort off like a big band aid on the ass when I had on cute thong. But anyway I loved it for the most part. So ppl if you are on it and it does not really effect you and you like it then keep it!
