"i&#039;m just about to start my 5th month on the patch and now that my body&#039;s gotten used to it, i can honestly say that i love it! i felt completely normal the first month. the second month, however, i experienced mild itching around the patch, extreme mood swing during the &quot;off period&quot;, and heavy spotting for 4 weeks while wearing the patch. after the second month, i was back to normal. no itching, no baby, no huge detrimental side effects except for that i increased a cup size, acne is mild/did not change on patch, no more spotting in between periods, and no mood swings. overall, i would recommend the patch. easy to use, put it on butt and forget about it for a week. love it."
