just a quick question to all you patch users! i was on OTC for a year (no problems there) but recently started the patch. this is my first month on it and im on my second week patch. i have read on the board that is causes bloating and boy have i have noticed it. now the sore and swollen boobs i can handle.but i loathe the bloating! drawing from experiences, does the bloat every go away?

thanks

Hi crysnicoleb, welcome!

It usually takes three or four 3-patch cycles for your body to become adjusted to the hormones in the patch. Side effects should go away in that time. I hope you are feeling better soon.

Good luck
