"i was using ortho evra for 11 years and i absolutely loved it, i had no complications at all, when it was discontinued my doctor prescribed xulane, the first month was fine then i the following month i bled for 2 months straight with ache, pain, fatigue and severe cramping. i never had cramping or any problem prior to taking this contraceptive. every week when i apply the patch i started spotting and become fatigue with cramping, after about 8 month i applied it and there was no spotting so i thought finally it started working, well i couldn&#039;t be more wrong. i was pregnant, yes pregnant. still in disbelief. i absolutely hate xulane"
