"i&#039;ve been on the birth control patch for about seven months, and while i&#039;ve never had issues with forgetting to change it, or it falling off (on the contrary it hurts when i have to rip them off after a week) i have noticed in the last couple months that on my patch change day i become very light headed and nauseous and usually end up throwing up multiple times over the course of 4-8 hours. i generally feel nauseous, or just unwell for the next three days after as well. i always stuck it to my lower sides, switching each week, but this past week i affixed it to my arm and did find that i was less ill, but i did still throw up multiple times. for this reason i am switching methods because it is not worth it to me to be this sick this often."
