Getting off the patch.

I had originally had the implant for 2 and 1/2 years. It worked awesome, but I wanted a change. I wanted something that would regulate my periods. During this past summer I switched to the patch. On my second patch I had a terrible reaction. I had major cramps and bleeding. I stopped the patch immediately. It feels good to have a regular period birth control free after almost 3 years. Did this happen to anyone else ?
