I have used xulane for 8 months now & all of a sudden the pharmacy gave me this. I hate it. It NEVER sticks. I've gone through 3 patches in a week because it just basically falls off of me. Since I've been using it I've been bleeding & my breasts are sore. I never had any issues with xulane. This birth control is terrible, it's like great value xulane, horrible.

I have been breaking out, spotting for 2 weeks, getting hives at the spot of the patch, gaining weight etc. The first patch I ever put from zafemy did not have any sticky part on it except for the corner of the patch. The patch just lifts off and the glue litera
