"this is my first time to use bc and i knew the patch was the only thing for me (cannot remember to take pills)....  this is my second month and i&#039;ve noticed my boobs are staying sore, i&#039;m like crazy emotional and i&#039;m so sleepy....  but no weight gain, no acne breakouts, no red bumps, no nausea..... i was told it could take 3 months to get in your system and i&#039;m hoping that all this will go away next month.... the only thing that worries me is that i have no energy....  is this a side effect????"
