"i started the patch because i had difficulty to remember to take the pill every night. at first i liked it, yes it shows but it was not a problem to me. but however i would apply it the corners would never stick to my skin, which is a problem since the active ingredient is on the whole patch. plus, the menstrual cramps were much stronger and my period lasted longer than usual. but the last day that i changed my patch, i went into the shower right after and fainted. when i got back up, i was so dizzy i couldn&#039;t walk straight. i lied down and threw up. it was like being super hangover, but i barely ever drink. i removed the patch and 30 minutes later i was feeling way better. i&#039;m going back to the pill."
