"i recently switched from birth control pills to the patch. i wanted to be on something that i didn&#039;t have to remember to take every day and because i have pcos the patch was my next best option. i was a little weary of it because i looked up reviews and saw that many women got ill within the first couple of days of being on it. luckily i haven&#039;t had that experience. i think that the main reason is because i went from a pill with very similar to the patch. i didn&#039;t give the patch a 10 rating because it can get a little itchy (it feels like you&#039;re wearing a bandaid) and sometimes it makes me nervous that it&#039;s going to fall off. overall no side effects so far and i&#039;m so glad that i&#039;m not having to remember to take the pill every day."
