Ortho Evra and butt

I was only on Ortho Evra for two short weeks but I had terrible side effects. I switched to Ortho Evra from the NuvaRing because I completely loss my sex drive on that.

With Ortho Evra I was constantly worried about my patch not sticking or falling off (I tried it on my butt and upper arm). It began to loosen around the fifth day. The worst side effect was my swollen and tender breast. I already have very large breast, so anything bigger is a nightmare. I could not even touch my breast because they would begin to throb. I had to wear a regular bra and two sports bras to try and stabilize them so I would not have terrible pain.

I do not recommend.

I was on Ortha Evra for almost 2 years. I really liked it. I liked the idea of not having to take a pill everyday, because I would always seem to forget, then have to double up the next day. The patch is small and I was able to wear a bikini, without it showing. I always kept it on the front because I was afraid that if I wore it on my butt, it would fall off without me noticing. It never once fell off. The only negative thing I did notice while I was using the patch is that I experienced heavier cramps and my sex drive started to decline after I was using it for about 6 months. But, all in all, I liked it.
