"i have been on xulane for six months now, and i&#039;m sticking with the patch. before xulane i was taking the depo shot and i had my period for 3months, it was horrible. on xulane, i do get mood swings, and since  i seem to be tires a lot. i&#039;ve also gained some noticable wait. these would be the only cons, besides that i love the fact i only have to change the patch once a week, and my period always comes the week when the patch is not required. i&#039;ve always got my period for nine days now my period is only 5 days. i love it !"
