I have been on the patch for about 13 months now. For the most part it has been smooth sailing. Except for the fact that during week 3 of this month and last I have turned into a moody crying mess. I broke down into tears this morning over a MUSIC VIDEO! That is so not me at all. My hormones shouldn't be dipping yet because it's during my third straight week on the patch. Could my body be trying to tell me that OrthoEvra is no longer strong enough for me or something? The only breakthrough bleeding i'm experiencing is during week one and that is unrelated to the patch. Last night I wanted to gripe at my husband over every little thing, and this morning I want to cry because my favorite jeans are dirty. This moodiness is really upsetting:( the fact that i'm moody is making me angry and so on and so on. Any thoughts as to what is going on?
By the way, I have an appt on Wednesday to get my thyroid checked and while I'm there I'm planning on asking my doc to order some NuvaRings for me (they don't have them at our pharmacy and I live in Japan so I can't exactly run to REVCO to get it) That would mean that I should only be on the patch for another month or two, but I still want to know what's wrong with me :(

If you've been using the patch for 13 months and just this month it broke bad on you, I probably wouldn't blame the patch.
