    The patch sucks. It gets all grimey like when you leave a band-aid on too long.

    I stopped it after the first three weeks it made me ill and my fiance was hating it i had trouble similar on the pill also the hormones make me highly short tempered and depressed i guess i give up on bc it seemed like a good idea but it just not worth the emotional roller coaster and the depression

    ODESSA, have you tried depo or seasonale yet? I don't know if the sideaffects will be the same as the patch/pill/ring for you. Or maybe an IUD (there apparently far safer these days than they used to be). Maybe your doc will have some other possible solutions for ya.

    some women react very well to depo, some react very badly. I don't know if there's a way to tell, really. I reacted quite well to it (some weight gain, very moody the day before and the day after my shot), but I know that some women have had some extremely awful experiences. Seasonale is a pretty new product, so I don't know how many testimonies you'll be able to come across (at least, long-term ones). Good luck darlin!
