i just wanted to say that i have tried every pill out there before trying the birth control patch. i cant take any pill because i have to much break through bleeding. i had just got married and we dont want kids yet and i didnt know what to do. when i back to the dr for a checkup i suggested to my dr we try the patch. it had just come out and i was willing to try. so i did and 6 months later i love it and every thing going great. i have went swimming and it still didnt come off. so to anybody that thinking about trying it you should.

hi Candace0607! I'm currently on the pill and I'm not crazy about the side effects. Can you please tell me if you have experianced any side effects similar to those on the pill and also is the patch a low dose method? Also, how much does it cost on a prescrition plan? Thanks!!
