    Default Help! Orth Evra Patch

    I need advice. I've been off of birth control for years now so the past two months I decided to try again. I started with the Othro Evra pill and took it for 15 days and hated it! It made my face break out really bad and I was having mood swings. I was on the patch a few years ago and didn't have any bad side effects so I decided to try it again. So it's the 4 week and I weighed myself today and discovered that I gained 10pds since starting.... so I'm freakin out. All of my clothes are really tight. I know I'm not just gaining weight because I go to the gym and work out. I know it's because of the patch. SO I don't know if I should wait it out or just stop using it now. Do you think I will keep gaining weight? I've been researching on the web and some women gained up to 50pds. Maybe I would take the chance if I wasn't paying bills by shaking my ass but damn my ass is going to be big! The good thing is that the patch made my little A's go to B's!!
    Soooo ladies help me before it's too late!!! LOL

    Evra Patch= BAD. I gained 15 pounds while on it for eight months and to this day I can't lose it. Plus those patches cause blood clots and other nasty things I can't remember that the moment.

    Try a low-dose standard pill instead,.

    Have you thought about the Nuva Ring? God, I feel like their spokesperson but I've heard so many of my friends just absolutely love it in RL as well as great feedback online.

    Strange, I lost weight on the patch. But, I also love the ring. Maybe time to try something new.

    I loved the patch, but can't use it now that I'm dancing. The week-old bandaid look is not sexy. How do you "hide" it?

    I've been off BC entirely for the last couple months because of my surgery, and have been breaking out like highschool... but worse! I'll be starting a new low dose pill soon, please let it make the zits go away

    Yasmin made me sick as all hell. But it's good for some people.

    sxybrat - it sucks that yasmin made you sick....i just figured it was always the higher dose pills that make girls sick...thats what my gyno told me....I have no idea where you could hide the patch....can you put it on your ankle or the back of your neck (if you have long hair) ??? is that even allowed???
