    Default The Patch (I know this has already been discussed...

    OK. I know that this has already been discussed, but it was a 4 page post, and I don't want for anyone to fish through all of that!!
    I have been on the ring for 6 months, and even though I love the mindlessness of it, I have been getting REALLY bad headaches when I take it out and have my period.
    I am not willing to skip periods (I actually LIKE having it, when I'm not curled up crying because of a headache), so the shot is out.
    Terrible memory, the pill is out.
    I am going to try the patch in a few weeks. WHat I was wondering is this: has anyone ever worn it besides the prescribed spots on your body? I know a girl who wears it on her ankle, says she has no issues with it.
    I don't believe there is shame in birth control, so I am proud to tell people I am on it should they ask.
    So what are the experiences with the patch (besides appearance) that anyone has had? Physical effects (several girls I know said their breasts became fuller)?
    Any info would be appreciated!

    I think it is recommended you wear it on your torso for absorbtion...I've tried wearing nicotine patches on my calves under my boots, and they did naught, whereas they work like a charm if I wear them on my arm...same concept, I think.

    Ask your doctor, but if he/she says you should wear it on your torso, I wouldn't think it would be worth the risk to 'disobey' :p...

    You could probably cover it with makeup to make it more subtle.

    and hey, the fact that you are on it shows that you have sex, so it could be an asset for some guys! makes you look more available to them or whatever.

    I was on the patch, I am on the ring. I had the same side effects either way, except with the patch I always itched directly under it. Although the headaches were mild, they were a bit stronger with the patch for me. I think that is because of the lower doses in the ring. I only ever wore it on my butt, changing sides every week.

    I hate the patch. I love the ring. I just skip my periods because they're soo bad. I have about 5 or 6 a year and I've been on the ring since it came out. Used the patch for i mnth. I think I've used them all except norplant and the IUD.

    I love the ring too... even my husband likes it the best. I have used: condoms, spermacide (film, insert, and gel), absitince (works well, but didnt do it on purpouse...), withdrawl, outercourse, the patch, and the ring. the ring is by far my favorite. but I kinda can't wait to use nothing...

    I like the patch for the reason that it really helps with my feminine issues and it's really easy, but it can be a pain in the ass. Mine always gets fuzzy from clothes and once it got stuck to the back of the seat in my car and nearly ripped my skin off. OUCH. I have decided to go back to the pill or try the ring.
