"this is my first time using birth control ever and the patch was my first choice because my step mama has it and she recommend that i use it cause she didn&#039;t want me to forget to take the pill ever day. so let me tell y&#039;all the patch is good. sometimes i used to have bad headache a lot when i got on the patch. my headaches got worse to the point i didn&#039;t want to open my eyes. i never had bad cramps i had them but they wasn&#039;t terrible, they were ok. when i started the patch my cramps got so bad i would cry myself to sleep i get back pains and a lot more than now when i&#039;m cramping. i have mood swing all the time now i feel very weak sometimes and nauseous most of the time. i have no skin problems.  the patch is ok sometimes i forget i&#039;m wearing it."
