I'm experiencing problems with nausea, although it could be related to other problems (I'm not too sure yet). The patch, also, has difficulties staying attached to my skin. I'm not placing the patch on an area that has had make-up, cremes, lotions, etc. applied, so I don't understand why it won't stay put all the way (It's on my lower abdomen). It seems that the edges keep coming off. Is this normal? Also, will this decrease the effectiveness of the patch? Please, any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

i use the path and its the best thing i ever did, i reckon its reliable but womens bodies r different, i never felt nausia, but my friend fainted once wen she was using it. but i have been fine and wouldnt use anything else. the edges will come off slightly but my doc sez that thats normal and if it falls off, dont try putting that patch bak on, get another patch out of the packet and put it in another part of ur body, i find that poutting it on ur thigh or bum is the best opyion, it never rubs off and its hidden,

I have never done the birth control patch but from all my experiences with the pill nauseau can be a common side effect.
I would definitely recommend getting in touch with your dr to let them know what's going on to see what they recommend.
As for the edges of the patch keep coming off that doesn't sound normal but please check with your dr to see what they say.
