nobody uses patch?
I consulted this with my primary health care physican.
She said the effect is the same and the reason you are getting weight after eating pills is it stimulates the appetitie,kinda like appetizer.
So I 've practiced yoga before dinner to reduce that.haha,anyway.Patch works great and easy.
My friend mentioned Patch to me as well. So I went to ask my OB for prescription. He told me the recent research found that the hormone in pathc is too high, so he would not recommend that to me. So I decide to take pills instead. Sigh, I thought I found a good way, since it is hard to remember to take pills everyday. :-( You probably want to check this info.
hehe,I bet your OB is american.
My primary care phycisian said normally american OB does not recommend this since it stimulats vessel clot,mostly for white women.
She mentioned the hormone level is kinda same as pills, the only difference is the way the body absorb the hormone,either through stomach or skin.
Anyway, all thoes birth control are controvercial so far. Maybe since it is against the nature,it always arise some problems.
