Ethinyl estradiol / norelgestromin
birth control
"I've only been on it for a month, but have tried other birth controls before (Loestrin 24, Microgestin Fe, and Fecom Fe). I was off for about a year since those made me get incredibly nauseous all the time.  Over this month on the patch though, I really haven't noticed any nausea or other negative side effects.  Sex drive has decreased, and breast tenderness has occurred over weeks 2 and 3, but nothing too bad.  It's completely different than other birth controls I have been on, and it's been great!  I'm thrilled to see people have been on for 4-5 years and still been happy with it.  I'm definitely continuing on it and hopefully I've found one to keep forever!"
