"i&#039;m 44 years old, i have 2 children and i don&#039;t want anymore (my husband had vasectomy 6 years ago) and i went on the patch to see if it would help with my hot flashes and night sweats.  i still have my period and thought having a little control over it would be nice, so i decided to give it a try.  i&#039;ve been on it for 4 months and i haven&#039;t had a hot flash or night sweat yet! i am so loving this patch!
however there have been other issues.....the 1st &amp; 2nd month i didn&#039;t experience any side effects. the 3rd month i had a period for 2 weeks even with the patch on and i lost 5 lbs.  and the 4th month i swear i&#039;m pregnant (but i&#039;m not), i can&#039;t stop eating, my breasts are huge and sore. i hope this doesn&#039;t last long, but again no hot flashes!"
