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've been on Ortho Evra patch for a couple years. Absolutely loved it. My symptoms of moodiness were almost nonexistent, periods were very regular , brief and light, breasts were growing a bit and tender sometimes, but it did not bother me too much. I did not notice any big weight changes, no cramps or pain. The best thing about it was not needing to remember to take it everyday like a pill. The only drawback was that the patch could move, slide, fall off, bend, or leave a black glue stain on skin or clothes, but you learn how to deal with it after while. Then I switched to another insurance and patch became awfully expensive. After that I started hearing of all the legal issues involved and terrible side effects, and was happy I got off of it, although it never caused me any problems personally.
