"i started the xulane patch two months ago. i have to say that it has been a great experience so far. i myself read through these reviews before starting the patch and i was terrified of the experience i would have. i have not gained any weight. i have not had migraines or even mild headaches. the patch does not itch nor does it leave a rash or any type of bump. it does leave a residue on the outer ring from where it catches your clothing and collects fuzz. i have not experienced any nausea. it has been smooth sailing. my period is drastically lighter and i don&#039;t get ill or experience extreme cramps. i have to say i&#039;m a huge fan of the patch. it has even increased my sex drive, because i feel so comfortable now that i have it."
