"i&#039;ve been on ortha evra &amp; xulane for going on 6 years now. they switched to the off-brand a few years ago and i never noticed a difference. i haven&#039;t had any complications or bad side effects from it. the only thing i&#039;ve noticed is if i quit taking it, my period quits coming. i just recently tried to stop in january, my period came that month. skipped february completely, and passed my period date for this month. so i got back on it to hopefully regulate it out again. not sure what to do if i wanna stop taking it and try to get pregnant again tho."
