Please help! I'm 17 and could use some advice. I am interested in starting the patch but am worried about possible side effects. I have read scary and confusing information I was wondering if anyone could give me a good overview. Will it cause acne, weight gain, or bleeding like the pill? Are there any specific problems related to using a high dosage form of birth control? Also, my mom said she always got really moody when she was on birth control, should I worry? I was planning on getting bc from a clinic and so am not terribly familiar with the doctor, which doesn't mean I won't ask questions... but I really don't know what to ask. My parents are both completely opposed to premarital sex and so I feel pretty much alone on this one. Thanks for any help you can give!
