I have heard many good things and bad things about the patch but it effects every single person differently which is something you have to take into account. I was on the patch once but taking the pill at the same time and that just wasnt for me however I do not want to get pregnant again before my wedding so I think I am going to go back on the patch I loved it actually it just peeled a little on the edges(which is no big deal even though the instructions say otherwise) an it was very sticky when I took it off. I do recommend putting it on ur arm or shoulder ... Hips and butt are a bad idea and tend to come off more easily or move around. But thats my take on it. I refuse to go back on the pill and im nervous to try the ring so im going to stick to the pathc til I get marrried or get fed up.

Hope that helps
