Ortho Evra BC patch

LolasBabyNum1

I was just curious about the side effects. And wanted to know who has used it or is using it and has it gave you any problems? I have a prescription for it but just wanna know opinions. (And I do realize that every womans body is different)

Soon2bmommyof2

I use it I havent had any problems. For me there wasnt really any side effects

LolasBabyNum1

@Soon2bmommyof2 Really? How long have you been on it?

LolasBabyNum1

@mama2bell_4_11and @sophiasmom11 Thats good to know I was debating on whether I should try it or not but i'll def be giving it a try

LolasBabyNum1

@sophiasmom11 Thats good to know thanks mama

LolasBabyNum1

@sophiasmom11 She's doing great! thanks . She is getting cornea transplants on feb. 2 so Im hoping it will go well. The thought of her getting it done scares the sh!t outta me. They say it will benefit her though

LolasBabyNum1

@sophiasmom11 Shes only 3months yeah shes so little but they want to help asap so it doesnt cover her eyes completely

@sophiasmom so that's what I did wrong. I showered too soon. I had it for a couple years and loved it but I had to tape it on

stella

I had problems with it staying on but no side effects really predictable periods

mam082711

I had heart palpitations and panic attacks. Never had it before I went on the patch, and not since stopping it 6 yrs ago. Other than that it was really easy to use, just remember to rotate spots to avoid skin irritation.

@mam082711 its funny u said that. IV been on the pill for 2 mos and IV been having minor chest pains from time to time and it scares the hel! Outta me. I also been having circulation (sp) issues in my arms. I never thought about it being my BC. I have a Dr appt on Tues I just might change my BC, cuz IV never had this problem before

LolasBabyNum1

@mam082711 so the pill or patch gave you those problems? Im sorry i got a lil confused lol

LolasBabyNum1

@WyattsMommy Her dr says she will see but its going to still be limited. It'll be enough for her to recognize and make out faces and whats around her well so she says. I guess we'll have to see when it happens you know?
So just take regular showers? Dont do baths right? Im still a bit confused on what day to start it too

mom924

I used it for a few years. The only problem I had with it was keeping it on! My skin was like WTF is this?!!!

Soon2bmommyof2

I've been on it for almost a year

LolasBabyNum1

@WyattsMommy Lol i was thinking about putting it on my buttcheek the first time.
They haven't mentioned anything about her using glasses but now that you bring it up I'm going to ask

LolasBabyNum1

@mom924 lol that sucks. But you didn't have any weird side effects?

LolasBabyNum1

@mom924 lol that sucks. But you didn't have any weird side effects?

LolasBabyNum1

@WyattsMommy Yeah i know right? Doctors these days are rude and seem unwilling to put all their effort in to help. Pisses me off

mam082711

@lolasbabynum1 it was the patch

BentleysMommy716

I loved the patch! I'll be back on it when I'm done bfing. Never came off, no side effects except some nausea the first 2 days of every patch. And every week, I rotated putting it on each butt cheek

megaroo

LolasBabyNum1
