"i was on the patch for almost 6 years and didn&#039;t experience any bad side effects. it was perfect for someone as forgetful as myself. the only cons were the patch may fall off and a rash may develop where the patch was applied.

two years ago, i switched to the nuvaring upon my doctor&#039;s recommendation. it was the wrong move. i was on nuvaring for 3-4 months and gained 10 lbs!

from nuvaring, i started taking a pill upon my doctor&#039;s recommendation (once again!). i took it for 10 months and experienced terrible side effects, including weight gain and night sweats. 

as soon as i stopped taking the pill altogether, the night sweats stopped. however, my skin started freaking out. i will be consulting with my doctor again about the patch."
