I switched to Loestrin 24 from the Ortho Evra patch last month at the end of my period. Everything was fine and then 2 wks ago (midway thru), I started to have irritation occasionally when I peed. My first question is does switching put your hormones out of wack? I get hot flashes and sweat and then I feel freezing! I am also really sensitive to smoke right now (don't smoke myself) and it makes me really nauseas. Food also seems to make me nauseas. I also have some abdominal pain and worse than normal cramping, but I am not really bleeding that badly. I got my period 2 days ago, but I just wondering what in the heck is going on with my body!

Changes in hormones can do dramatic things to your body.
