In an effort to control hormonal migraines (get them w/period), my doctor suggested not taking a week off from the patch - so I kept it on (changing it weekly) for 7 weeks. When I finally went a week w/out it I got a headache within hours. During the next week I starting getting night sweats and got a yeast infection - can this have anything to do with my change in using the patch?

How long have you been on the patch?
