User experiences with OrthoEvra

What has your experience with it been? I have problems with a lot of weight gain/appetite increase with levonorgestrel/triphasil, and lots of crying/mood problems with ortho triclen. I wanted to be put on Mircette but they don't have it here. I would like to know how much of these hormones are released compared to the 20 mg pills and also how much estrogen. I have been searching the family practice notebook but they don't have anythong on ortho evra. Any one have problems with the pill like me and have the patch work out for them? I am considering ordering Mircette if I have to....so far I have just had mild dizziness/mild headache mixture. I haven't been on any hormone other than Mirena for over 10 years so I am ultra nervouse. Thanks!

I went to my Doctors and she said I was overly sensitive to synthetic estrogen and I went on the ring. I love it! I've been on the ring since July, and it's wonderful, I have no side effects what so ever!
Goodluck, I hope this helps, and I hope everyone understands that just because the patch was hell for me, doesn't mean it doesn't work well for other women.
Hi same,
I just started using the patch a few months ago - and so far so good!
