Yep, I was on the Patch for a year before I switched to the Ring (never tried any other methods than those... well, condoms of course!). The Patch really messed with me every time I put it back on after my period... I threw up a lot, was nauseous on a regular basis. Ick. I wasn't surprised when they made the announcement about the estrogen overdose! Pretty messed up.
The ring: never threw up, never really felt anything. I did feel nauseous one month, but I don't think it was related. Also, maybe once or twice the Ring has lodged itself in an inconvenient spot, and I notice an irritation after sex (from the rubbing of skin on the ring)... but I just poke my finger in and scootch it around to a new spot, and it's better after that. I definitely vote for it.
