Evra Patch...side effects... please help....?

I started using it last Saturday, but suddenly my breasts are sooooo tender. I can hardly touch them... Besides that, I've got an uncomfortable feeling as if I've got my first day of my period, but this feeling I've got since Monday...

Could you please tell me what side effects you got while using this patch and how long it lasted. Also, do you experience this on other methods for instance the pill and injection as this is the first time I'm on birth controll.

    The side effects you are expiring are normal. For me it lasted 1 1/2 months and everything started to settle down. The other side effects I had were a little weight gain and sometimes a rash at the patch site. Usually, if I moved the patch over it would go away. I have never used the injections but, it can take up to a year before they are fully effective and the shot mess with your period a lot more than the pills, patch or neuva ring. I had quite taking the pill because it made me nausea but, I have a sensitive stomach. I had similar side effects on the pill as the patch.

    If your symptoms continue to be bothersome talk to you Dr. and she should be able to change things and try to find something that works for you.

    I had terrible undesirable part outcomes from that patch. I went off of it rather a lot in the present day. There are a bunch of regulation suites adversarial to that organization that makes the Ortho Evra Patch via the undeniable fact that's notorious for causing blood clots and heart attacks. It make me damage out in hives everywhere i'd stick the patch, and finally I were given the hives throughout my body. i'd recommend you to GET OFF of that patch and on to popular birth control pills. What you're describing isn't regularly occurring in any respect- complicated blood clots the dimensions of your palms? that's amazingly intense and also you want to the contact your widespread practitioner and stop taking that patch in the present day. it may well be a miscarriage or it may well be a intense part result from the patch.
