Birth Control
"Before being on the patch, I took two different birth control pills and was on the Nuvaring. I had a lot of problems with those which I&#039;m not facing with the patch (acne, extreme tiredness, moodiness, yeast infections, bacterial vaginitis, weight gain, etc). I&#039;ll admit that I&#039;ve had pretty bad cramps and extreme changes in my mood when my period comes. I feel a little out of whack, but it&#039;s worth it compared to the alternative side effects I&#039;ve experienced! The first day of a new patch, I&#039;m always extremely tired and a bit nauseous as well. It also does leave a sticky ring and cause irritation, but it doesn&#039;t bother me. You can see a few faded square marks on my back from previous weeks.. a little weird. Overall, the best birth control I&#039;ve experienced so far! Easy, reliable, etc."
