Birth Control
"I&#039;m 44 years old, I have 2 children and I don&#039;t want anymore (my husband had vasectomy 6 years ago) and I went on the patch to see if it would help with my hot flashes and night sweats.  I still have my period and thought having a little control over it would be nice, so I decided to give it a try.  I&#039;ve been on it for 4 months and I haven&#039;t had a hot flash or night sweat yet! I am so loving this patch!
However there have been other issues.....The 1st &amp; 2nd month I didn&#039;t experience any side effects. The 3rd month I had a period for 2 weeks even with the patch on and I lost 5 lbs.  And the 4th month I swear I&#039;m pregnant (but I&#039;m not), I can&#039;t stop eating, my breasts are HUGE and sore. I hope this doesn&#039;t last long, but again no hot flashes!"
