"i have been on the patch for a month and i absolutely love it. it&#039;s my first form of birth control and personally i gag taking pills. within the first month of using the patch i lost 3 pounds. my sex drive is high and my breast got a little larger. slightly. i had cramps during my week of the patch but i didn&#039;t mind. i rather have cramps than having my period for an entire month. i recommend the patch for anyone who wants a form of birth control who don&#039;t want to gain weight."
