"this is the first type of contraception i have ever used, i was debating for ages what i should go for. i didn&#039;t really want something that stopped my period as i just don&#039;t feel its right on my body and i am happy with that. 
i haven&#039;t noticed any major changes to my body which is good, although i had a major breakout during my first month on the patch (my gp said that should calm down after a few months). my emotions and appetite is always on a high so i can&#039;t say the patch has really brought that on at all or anymore."
