Birth Control
"I am rating this a 10, because I believe it&#039;s extremely effective. I have been on the patch for almost 4 years &amp; I never once had a pregnancy scare. For me I get regular periods, but I also get most of the side effects. After the first few months periods are regular, mine last between 3-5 days. I get more emotional, I get mood swings, cramps, headaches, I bloat, I basically get all the the side effects, but they are not severe. Every once in a while they are pretty bad, but that will only happen once every 6 months-year. On the patch I never gained weight from it. The only thing I truly dislike about it is I will get really nauseous and throw up if I don&#039;t eat anything the night before I put a new one on and recently I&#039;ll have bloody discharge."
