birth control
"I like the patch. It has been effective so far. I started on Sunday after my menstrual cycle and I had unprotected sex 11 days after (so the first week after the 2nd patch ) and I just got the withdrawal bleeding ;"my period" on the third day of my patch free week. I've had unprotected sex during the patch free week since I am supposed to be protected from pregnancy according to instructions as long as I remember to apply the patch on time(every Sunday) I did experience a little nausea , head aches and a bit cramping but nothing too serious like other reviews. The body has to get used to the hormones so I know it will adjust with time. My period is lighter and with no heavy cramping! I used to have a 7 day period and now it lasted 3 days."
