"the first month i was on the patch, i bled for the entire month and was completely miserable! my second patch also fell off 10 minutes after i put it on so i had to use my third patch and then wear it for 8 days because i had to get my next prescription a week early. the next month, my period was lighter but i got it twice, both shorter than my usual 8 day cycle. this third month, i&#039;ve had unbelievable cramps that no medicine will relieve and incredible nausea. on the bright side, i&#039;m not pregnant, though i&#039;m not sexual active, and my acne has cleared up a lot. not sure if it&#039;s worth it though."
