For an entire year me and my man have been using the withdrawal method and it worked 100%:)but we wanted to be able to not worry for once and not be so careful anymore. So I just started the patch the same day my period started and the same day I had my first obgyn appointment. Lol it started as soon as she looked😂 but anyways I'm not afraid of the side affects the only thing is I do not want my sex drive to go down!!!!😩😩😩helpp
