"my doctor put me on the patch because i have terrible cramps during my period and usually develop ovarian cysts that are very painful a few days before my period starts. i put this on at 7pm and by midnight i had terrible headaches to the point i couldn&#039;t lift my neck or even talk because my teeth hurt. i felt immediate pain in my pelvic area where i placed it. i also had immediate muscle spasms in my legs and right arm (side where patch was) and i don&#039;t want to keep up this terrible pain that i felt in just a few hours. its probably just all the extra estrogen and i probably should have waited it out but i don&#039;t want to take any chances."
