"i have been on xulane for 3 months now and i love it. before i started my periods were bad with headaches, cramping, and heavy flow, after the first month my periods dwindled and now i only need light pads, i rarely cramp and have maybe one headache. however i do get some redness and irritation on my skin, trouble with the patch adhering to my skin and also my eating habits have changed dramatically, sometimes i&#039;ll be starving and when i see what i&#039;m about to eat i lose any urge to eat. i would recommend it but be sure you remain aware of your body."
