Question for patch users (placement)
| Wed, 03-10-2004 - 6:37pm |
I went for my annual exam yesterday and spoke with my doctor about possibly going on the patch. I asked her about possibilities of it falling off. She said that she hasn't had many women have that happen to them that she knows of.
Anyway, my question is, in your experience so far, where is/was the best place to put the patch to keep it from falling off? I don't really like the idea of wearing it on my arm because of bathing suit season and short sleeve/tank top weather coming up and on my back, seems like it would be hard to reach. I was thinking my butt or abs, but a lot of people seem to have had problems with putting it on their butt. Any tips?
Also, how do you know how much lifting is too much?
Thanks.

Hi sc,
I'm like you - don't like it on my arm.
Thanks so much for your help. Very reassuring to know that it's worked well for you there.
Also, when I first went on it, I had sore breasts constantly for two or three weeks straight.
Thank you so much!
