Does anyone have any experience using the birth control patch?

I am on my second month of using the Ortho Evra patch,and so far its working pretty well.My hot flashes and night sweats are diminished for the most part,and I feel no side effects at all from the patch.I can't take a bc pill as it makes me very sick,but nothing like that at all with the patch.I had my period for a week,but no heavy bleeding like I usually had..

I'm glad to hear that you've had success with Ortho Evra. Has it helped you the brain fog?
