"i&#039;m 19 years old and started the patch 3 days ago. i took birth control pills for 3 years and recently had my implanon removed after a year and a half with horrible, heavy periods and terrible mood swings. so far, the patch isn&#039;t affecting me terribly. i do have nausea in the mornings but nothing too terrible i just hope it ends soon. i will come back and post in a few months after i see how my body adjust to it."
