I decided on the patch and am on my second week, even though the Depo is not completely out of my system. MISERABLE IS NOT AN ACCURATE WORD TO DESCRIBE WHAT I'M FEELING. I'm totally emotional, hate my body, am freaked that I'm never going to lose the 25 extra pounds I put on with back-to-back pregnancies (2 boys, 13 months apart, whom I wouldn't trade for the world) because I just know I'm going to be one of those people who gain weight from the patch/pill. I cried all day Tuesday. This I can handle -- I've read that it takes some time for your body to get used to the hormones.
However, I now have the most horrible itch "down there". In 31 years of life, I've never had a yeast infection or anything like this so I don't know what to compare it to. My doc said the patch would not be causing it but I haven't been on antibiotics or anything else and it seems like too big a coincidence. She wants to treat me for a yeast infection and see if that helps.
Anyone heard of anything like this before? I'm about ready to rip this dang thing off and take my chances.

I'm sorry things aren't going so well!
Any knowledge on that subject would be appreciated.
You can theoretically do 84/7 with any monophasic (all active 21 days the same)
