"I was on the Patch for almost 6 years and didn't experience any bad side effects. It was perfect for someone as forgetful as myself. The only cons were the patch may fall off and a rash may develop where the patch was applied.

Two years ago, I switched to the Nuvaring upon my doctor's recommendation. It was the wrong move. I was on Nuvaring for 3-4 months and gained 10 lbs!

From Nuvaring, I started taking a pill upon my doctor's recommendation (once again!). I took it for 10 months and experienced terrible side effects, including weight gain and night sweats. 

As soon as I stopped taking the pill altogether, the night sweats stopped. However, my skin started freaking out. I will be consulting with my doctor again about the Patch."
