Pill to patch...
| Tue, 03-09-2004 - 11:53pm |
Okay, I had been on the pill for a couple years now. Have tried a couple different ones, but as soon as the patch was available in Canada I wanted to switch! So, I finished a pack of pills, had my seven days off, then instead of starting a new pack, I went right to the patch. I had assumed that I could do this because I have just been thinking that it was basically the same thing, same system of 3 weeks on, 1 week off....
It is now the second week of being on the patch, day 3, and my breasts are extremely sore. Kinda feeling like "pregnancy boobs". Been there and done that 3 times, so I know the feeling! I just read on the ortho site that I should have started the patch on the first day of my period, and now I'm getting kind of nervous. What do you all think? What have you done to switch from pill to patch? Think a pregnancy is possible or was the fact that I've been on the pill religously (since the birth of last child, almost 4 yrs ago) enough to get me through? Time to go to bed and dh is kind of aprehensive/frustrated/po'ed about this...I don't think he's going to be putting any moves on me till my next period!!
Thanks for any insight

You started correctly!
