"i love the patch!! i was on the pill for a long time (about 3-4 years) and tried 4 different ones. they mainly made me sick to my stomach, or have crazy mood swings/ aggression. in college i found it harder to take the pill on time and wanted to try different, more permanent birth controls. i tried nuvaring with no success (unfortunately it would move around too much and be quite uncomfortable), and the shot for 6 months (which made me horribly depressed, and was the first birth control to cause weight gain for me). 

then, i cam across the patch!! it is amazing. i lost some weight, my breasts grew a bit (a side effect i didn&#039;t want), and no mood swings! no nausea, and no appetite fluctuations. if anything, i&#039;d say it curbed my appetite."
