birth control
"I will start by saying that while on the patch for about 6 months I felt fine... No bad side effects. I follow directions religiously for this stuff because becoming pregnant was not something I had planned. However, after 6 months on the patch and using condoms, I found out I'm pregnant. 16 weeks pregnant to be exact. Because Xulane did make my periods irregular, I had no idea I was pregnant until 14 weeks. Just a heads up to the girls wearing it. It didn't do much for protecting me from pregnancy."
