Ethinyl estradiol / norelgestromin
birth control
"I've been on the patch for a month now going on my 2nd, this is also my first time using any birth control & so far I'm happy with it. It definitely has done its job with preventing  pregnancy. I started on a Monday, Tuesday morning, the 2nd day of use, I was very nauseous for just a little while & went away. After that it was mostly just my poor boyfriend dealing with my mood swings, I was pretty emotional as expected with all those hormones & it didn't last long. aside from that, no other side effects since week one/two, its perfect for just remembering it once a week.  It has stuck very well to the arms, I'll also mention that I got pretty bad cramps before my period, not sure if that was a side effect but they were worse than normal"
