I used to use the injection depo-provera (4 times a year) but decided that because I didn't have children yet and I was getting serious crampy pains, that I would go back to the pill.
Also, it didn't feel normal not having a period for over 2 years. When I did it was different/gross/painful and always a surprise.

Stay away from the patch! Not only are there wierd side affects, but the stupid thing always comes off! Evil or
Very Mad also lint sticks to it, and then leaves an outline! I beg of you! Stay away! Twisted Evil

I got only headaches and nausea thats about it. It never fell off. In fact if it does fall off they send you new ones for free. The outline goes away after a shower and you wash it off. I like it.

It was like a few days after that I noticed it. I just didnt feel like eating and I felt like puking but it goes away. Just when you change them, you get it for about a day or 2. And I took advil or aspirin for the headaches. Thats about it, its alot easier then remembering every day for a pill.
