The patch and periods
| Mon, 09-13-2004 - 4:55pm |
I was wondering of the patch users here, what has your period been like since on the patch. I take my patch off today, and hopefully will start my period this week. Has it come quick after taking off the patch, has it come late? Has it been painful, or normal and light? What kind of PMS symptoms do you have; i.e. breast tenderness, cramps, hungry?
I've been having sporadic (pretty painful) cramps this weekend, and really awful breast tenderness, and I haven't taken the patch off yet, and was wondering if this was normal? This is my first month ending on the patch. Thank you for your input!

At this point I am weighing the side effects and the convinience of the patch to determine if I want to stay on it or go back to BC pills. I am going to give it a couple more months and then decide. Right now, I am leaning toward the patch. I think the convinience is worth the side effects.
