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.
