"be careful!!  after being on ortho evra for 2  years my insurance switched me to xulane and i got pregnant within the second month of being on it.  my periods were consistent while i was on ortho, but when i switched to xulane they became very spotty/unpredictable, not to mention the bloating and cramping i felt.i was on my 3rd month before i realized i was pregnant.  even though my insurance covered part of the ortho, i still had to pay $50, with xulane it was completely free.  but now we know why, you get what you pay for."
