"after i ceased breastfeeding my daughter i needed a more practical birth control. i have always suffered anxiety about remembering to take a pill, especially when breastfeeding and using the mini pill which needed to be taken at exactly the same time daily. the patch ticks all the boxes. easy to use. i have had one fall off during a high intensity swim, so i recommend getting spares just in case.
as a warning - when i first started the patch i bled heavily for about 30 days non-stop. i was even prescribed medication to help with this. since it stopped, the heavy continuous bleeding hasn&#039;t returned and my periods are only 4-5 days long on my patch free week. also, i get strong food cravings around my patch change days perhaps a coincidence."
