"i&#039;ve only been on the patch for a few weeks but let me tell you... it&#039;s great for anyone who is super sensitive to estrogen or any other hormone replacement! i couldn&#039;t even take the lowest dose of birth control because the hormones made my stomach so sick. i was unable to even move for weeks when i took the pill. started the patch because i have incredibly low estrogen and i haven&#039;t had any nausea but a little fatigue. probably more due to the fact that it&#039;s something &quot;new&quot; your body is dealing with. i haven&#039;t really had the increased sex drive like a lot of women mention but i definitely feel as though my mood has evened out and i&#039;m less &quot;high and low&quot; like i used to be. highly recommend this as a form of birth control."
