Hi i am new to the patch I have been using it for about three weeks But the symptoms i have been gettin real bad cramps on my buttocks, heavy menstral cramps, and chest pain. Is this normal?? Should I continue to use this form of contraceptive. Or should i check for any blood clots. or is three weeks to early to catch something Thanx...

If you don't generally have this bad of menstral cramps and you are now getting these other pains, and severely, I definitely think you should call your doctor. Especially with chest pains! I dont' want to scare you, but it never hurts to be careful when major changes happen. And what is a phone call? A few seconds of time..to find out what is going... to ease your mind.


Let us know what you find out.

Hi honeydues, welcome!

I agree with Heather! Chest pain can be a bad sign. I'd definitely be calling my doctor if I were you! Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,
