I have tried almost all bc available the pill several times and always forgot to take it, the nuva ring and it fell out in the toilet (gross), the mirena which was poking into my uterus making me constantly bleed and made intercourse very uncomfortable. The xulane patch has been the best option for me. I set a weekly reminder on my phone to change my patch and I hardly ever forget! In the beginning it was a little rough with the hormonal changes. I did experience a lot of bleeding and mood swings but I stuck with it and everything leveled out, my hormones were no longer a bother after 3/4 months and my bleeding during periods are very minimal. I'm so pleased with this method of bc I don't think I'll ever leave the patch!

Works great for me no side effects. Just if swimming or taking a bath the sides can peel off a bit but if you plan on going swimming just put on a tegaderm to keep water out

I had previously used the birth control ring for 4 years and decided in May, 2016 to change to the Ortho Evra patch. I was given the Xulane generic form. I have used the Xulane patch with NO side effects until now . . . 10 months later! I put a new patch on my lower abdomen and within 6-8 hours I developed a horrible burning, itching rash square right under the patch. I immediately removed it ... Show Full Comment

I had previously used the birth control ring for 4 years and decided in May, 2016 to change to the Ortho Evra patch. I was given the Xulane generic form. I have used the Xulane patch with NO side effects until now . . . 10 months later! I put a new patch on my lower abdomen and within 6-8 hours I developed a horrible burning, itching rash square right under the patch. I immediately removed it and place a new patch on my upper shoulder. Within 6 hours again a horrible burning, itching rash under the patch so now I have two square burning itching rash spots! I can't believe I'm getting side effects now after 10 months of use! I have felt much better on the patch then I did on the ring. Now I don't know what to do. I can't use the Xulane patch anymore!

My body has finally adjusted to this birth control and the morning sickness is gone, everything is smooth sailing now. I have however, gained a bit of weight from the patch i'd rather gain a little than be sick every day!!

I just started taking this medication yesterday. It was on for about 24 hours and I started feeling dizzy and got a huge migraine which started earlier in the day. By later afternoon I felt sick to my stomach. Figured it was something I ate but I've never had a headache like this before. Started reading reviews on this drug and removed it. Hoping to feel better soon. A little over 24hr on this ... Show Full Comment

By later afternoon I felt sick to my stomach. Figured it was something I ate but I've never had a headache like this before. Started reading reviews on this drug and removed it. Hoping to feel better soon. A little over 24hr on this drug and I felt beyond sick to my stomach. Was on the patch years ago, brand name and never had a problem never felt like this.
