"hi.since using evra patch i could not be happier. firstly, i always had an irregular period and my flow was very bad to a point where i wore 9 pads per day, meaning 3 pads at a time. the menstrual pain was to a point i could not walk and i have a full 7 day cycle. i never knew when my next cycle would be. sometimes i&#039;d skip 5 months or so. after going to my gynae she put me on my first ever contraceptive called minese. it made me so sick i had migraine everyday and was nausea all the time. i then went to my gp and he recommended evra patch which works through the skin. i have never been so happy to get my period. i now only use one pad everytime i change, no migraine, no nausea, no mood swings, no weight gain and my skin looks better than ever. i have very light cramps when its time for my period and my flow is 10 times less than it was. call me crazy but its a pleasure to have my menstrual cycle and knowing when it will arrive. i could have not asked for a better contraceptive to regulate my period. also, its such a pleasure even when it comes to being intimate with my partner. we have no worries seeing that we don&#039;t want kids yet, i trust evra. following the instructions are simple from when its safe to when we should wait to be intimate when first applying the patch. i am a happy evra user. good-bye irregular cycle,cramps,pain, heavy flow and miserable period.. hello to a happy me."
