Would you recommend using the Patch Birth control?

Question

Answer

The patch only works for generally healthy women (those without history of blood clots/heart disease, those with average BMI, no high blood pressure, high cholesterol or high fat levels) if you have health concerns there's a higher risk that the patch won't work.

If you're generally healthy, then yeah the patch is just fine.

Answer

I have always had really bad experiences with birth control and side effects. I  was interested in the patch for birth control after having my son because it was different than the pill. My doctor said he wouldn't recommend it to women if they have trouble with side effects from the pills. It contains more estrogen than the pill which is what typically causes side effects. I love the concept of the patch but wasn't willing to chance it for myself.

Answer

The only thing I had trouble with was the patch staying on. Whenever I worked out or showered it would start to come off.

Answer

I was 15 and questioned if it was leading me to a heart attack. This was 2004. My parents house has city trash cans & the patch is STILL STUCK ON IT! I can't imagine that being good for you.
