... because i was afraid i would develop a blood clot which several others have talked about online.
I have been searching through the net to get advice how to relieve the <b> numbness/ tingling sensation/ severe tightness in calf muscle. </b> Someone said to elevate the leg, another person said drink lots of water and take a paracetamol and someone mentioned eat a banana (potassium). I did all of these things. The numbness has lessened and i will go back to see the doctor tomorrow morning.

Im 30 years old and i've tried microgynon over the years on and off (mostly off) because whenever i do try it i experience nausea. A friend of mine recommended Evra patch and i thought why not give it a go. Within 24 hours i experienced nausea and i ignored it because i thought it would go away and just a mild side effect. But then during the night i developed a numbness in my right leg, (foot and calf muscle). I knew immediately it was the patch because ive always had reasonably good health and never needed to take medication for anything. Also one of the <b>WARNING SIGNALS are "weakness or numbness in an arm or leg" </b> I removed the patch ... Read the complete review

I have been on the Ortha Evra Patch for around 5 years now. I switched from the Pill as I have IBS, which making the pill less effective. HOW DOES IT WORK? You stick it on your legs, bum, arm, back or stomach every seven days. It delivers the same hormones as the pill through the patch. You change the patch every seven days and then have a 'patch free week' after the third week.

First of all, I know several women who are very happy with Ortho Evra, so I'm not saying you shouldn't try it. It is easy to use, particularly if you have trouble remembering to take a pill, and is more convenient than injections. However, I just want to put in a quick word about the problems I had with Ortho Evra. I started on the patch after 9 years of using the pill because my cycle was getting irregular and my doctor wanted to switch up my birth control method to try and fix this problem. Ortho Evra definitely helped with managing my cycle, but I had several problems with it. 1.) One major problem was that I had terrible mood swings! I would get ... Read the complete review

I have been on these patches for well over a year now so I think that I am pretty qualified to review them. I am going to tell you my story of pregnancy and contraception from the beginning. ♥ MY STORY♥ When I was 11 I had an operation to remove a Cyst from my ovaries. When they did this they had to remove my ovary as well as the cyst. The doctors told me that I probably would never be able to conceive naturally, but at 11 you don't really think that these things would be a problem. As I grew up I met my to be husband, I was 15 when I met him and at the age of 17 I fell pregnant with my first child. I was very shocked as you ... Read the complete review
