"first birth control i&#039;ve used and i love it. been using it for 6 months now. i remember the first 2 patches i ever put on made me a bit nauseous, but now i put it on with no complaints whatsoever. when the patch needs to be taken off for my period, i typically get my period after 24hours. although not recommended, it does work if you have unprotected sex so it&#039;s nice to have that safety in the back of your mind. the only complaint i could possibly have about it is the price of the patch per month. other than that i&#039;ve had no side effects and am very happy about it!"
