"i have been on the patch for a month now. i absolutely love it! i have tried the pill and was having the worst headaches of my life and i was already on the lowest dosage. i gave up on the pill after 3 months. i have finished my fist month and have experienced no weight gain, mood swings, depression or headaches. the only side effects i have experienced are my breasts have grown slightly and become slightly tender before i get my period and i have a little bit more cramping when on my period. besides these side effects i honestly feel like i&#039;m on no birth control. the only negative i would say is that the patch can begin to peel which is easily fixable with cusion tape. i have pcos and the patch has been the best option for me!"
