I'm also on
Ortho Evra ("the patch") and I am so completely satisfied with it! You only have to remember to stick a patch on once a week, and you can stick it on your arms, shoulder, buttocks, or lower abdomen. It's over 99% effective and it seems to have few, if any, side effects.
I was on Depo Provera for three years. I bled inconsistently for up to months at a time, gained weight, and became depressed. After I got fed up with that crap I switched to Seasonale, which also messed me up. I continued to spot and have mood swings, and it was expensive.
Finally, I tried the patch. Easiest damn thing in the world! Slap that puppy on once a week and you're good to go! I've NEVER had one fall off, and I've been using it for about a year and a half now. I don't get the psycho mood swings any more, and I've lost a ton of weight since I switched to it. I honestly have NO negative side effects from using the patch. A majority of my friends use it, too, and they all seem quite satisfied. And none of them are pregnant
And you can start using it the day after you give birth
