I need some advice-

i am about to start the patch, and I wanted to know what everyone thought of the patch or the pill. I am new to the ehealth forum so any help you could give me would be fantastic. Thanks! :)

I Used the Patch - Went Back to the Pill

I personally didn't like the patch. It looks like a dirty bandaid by the end of the week. I also know two people who got pregnant after switching to the patch.

If you prefer something you don't have to remember to take. Ask your doctor about the nuva ring. My new insurance doesn't cover it, so i'm taking the pill now, but my favorite birth control so far is the nuva ring by far.

I prefer the pill over the patch because I was on the patch for a few months and it left red marks, looked dirty after a few days and it fell of if you were in water for an extended period of time.
