"i have been on ortho evra for three months and my experiences so far have been okay. the very first week of starting the patch, i was very nauseous, had some diarrhea, and very bad headaches (however i think this would be the case with most methods). usually the first week is the worst. 
since then, i&#039;ve had random headaches and nausea (mostly on the patch &quot;change&quot; days). unfortunately, i had terrible abnormal vaginal bleeding that seemed to be like a heavy period for a little bit over two weeks. 
my only other complaint is that the patch gets stuck to my clothing a lot and it concerns me. sometime it gets bubbles in it or it looks like its falling off. 
however, i like the ease of use, and the fact that it is not a pill."
