Birth Control
"I was on Ortho Evra for almost 6 years (since my early 20s).  I&#039;ve had very few issues with it... no weight gain, no moodiness, no stale sex drive.  All I&#039;ve experienced were slight skin irritation (where patch was placed) and spotting.  

I switched to NuvaRing under the guidance of my physician (because of my concerns over the FDA warnings).  It was as easy as the patch, but I quickly gained 5-7 pounds over 2 months of usage.  Then my doctor put me on Microgestin 1/20 FE.  It was the first and will be the last birth control pill I ever take!  I have gained 15 pounds over 6 months, experienced excessive night sweats and lost all interest in sex altogether.

Now, I might return to the patch."
