(also known as Birth Control Patch)

Norelgestromin/Ethinyl Estradiol contraceptive skin patch is used to prevent pregnancy. Hormones from the patch are absorbed through your skin into your body. It works by stopping a woman's egg from fully developing each month. The egg can no longer accept a sperm and fertilization is prevented.

I have been on birthcon. one time for like three years and even skipped my periods and has themonly evry third month. I still had pain all the time- It did not work
I took this after Depo-provera, as a higher estrogen alternative. NOT GOOD!!! I developed many cysts on my ovaries and itchy sensitive skin, under the patch areas after usage. Not to mention, I was diagnosed with endo after taking this. I'm pretty sure this worsened it, at least to the point of recognition. I learned after this treatment that estrogen feeds endo. Never again for me!

Tried as an alternative to bc pills. Found it to be similar in its effectiveness for controlling my pain and bleeding (e.g. not very...). I did experience a pretty nasty rash around the site of the patch as well.
Used as birth control... I didn't realize it was even intended to help with endo pain?
