Has anyone had any side effects from the birth control patch?

Question

At first I put it on my back and i would break out. Then i put it on my arms and they started to look bloated. now for the past year i have been wearing it on my upper hip/thigh and now I have some bloatness there. I stopped wearing it about a week ago. Has this happened to anyone else? I hope it goes away I have always had a small waist and hit the gym 3 times a week. I also had other side effcts like headache, blood clots not during my period and vision problems and confusion. Another question...which may sound dumb...but since I have stopped the patch my hormones have flown thru the roof...do you think its from stopping the birth control?

Answer 1

I actually got pretty sick from the patch, I broke out in hives all the time, all over my body, the area I put the patch was swollen and red for weeks after removing it. I was always sick to my stomach and just felt really horrible.

I miss Lunelle, and wish they hadn't have recalled it. It didn't make me gain a ton of weight the way Depo did, and it's so much easier to deal with just setting an alert in your phone on the day you needed your next shot.

Answer 2

i do not comprehend something about the clumps?! yet I ve been on the "patch" for very nearly 4 years and that i havent earnings or quite even lost weight, dermis irritations, or mood swings. i will claim that i'm continuously fatigue, yet I have low iron besides. i became on the pills considering the fact that i became 16 until eventually 19 yrs previous and later in those years the pills made me experience nausea any time I took them. in spite of others reviews, you want to have a affected human being/physician relationship with an OB/GYN to get regarded at ASAP! And pray about it.

Answer 3

I got my builtiful little girl, before her I had stomach pain and nausea and a little wieght gain. Everyone reacts different to everything
