"i started the patch a month after having my daughter. i&#039;ve been on it for about a year with no problems really. occasionally it starts to peel off or irritates the skin but nothing crazy. i recommend it because it can be hard to remind yourself every day to take a pill. the patch is just a once a week reminder. the past month i&#039;ve had issues with spotting and cramping like on my period which i&#039;ve never experienced before while using xulane. there can be some really scary reviews on here but everyone is different!! i would definitely recommend trying this type of bc to see what works for you."
