birth control
"I have been on this patch since February. I LOVE it! My periods start the friday night/ early saturday morning of the week I am off my patch ( I change them on Mondays) and I am off by Tuesday night. My periods use to be extremely heavy and very painful but since starting the patch have been great! The weekend before I take it off for the week I am more irritable and bitchy but not horrible. I have started noticing though in the last 2- 3 months that on the weeks I am off the patch by Wednesday I am starting to get really depressed and not feeling like myself, and this is lasting until Monday when I put the patch back on."
