Hello everyone.

I recently started birth control 3 months ago. the first 2 months i had horrible spotting than this month, i spotted for a day and that was  because i didnt have my patch on because i was ordering more.

we had sex about 2 days ago and he always leaves his (manly stuff) inside me, because im on the patch, yes it doesnt always prevent pregnancy but ive been having horrible issues lately.

I harley have a sex drive and if i do i dont enjoy it, I have stomach pains, bloated, breast enlargment, nipples really tender, body aches, head aches, ovulation is leaking out for about 1 1/2 week.

I havnt had my period this month and there is only 2 days left... i would ask my mom these things but she would say its stress or the patch.

can you help please?

Maybe you should try a different method of birth control. I have had a lot of success with Implanon. It goes into your arm (painlessly) and lasts for three years. I haven't had any awful symptoms and my periods have gone away. My sex drive is still there and it works out really well. Here's more information:

I agree with the other person who replied.  It sounds like the patch is not a good choice of birth control for you.  Maybe something with a lower dose (like the mini pill or an IUD) would be a better choice for you.

Make an appointment with ur gyno and ask what she recommends let her know what ur  symptoms are, shell probably recommend a preg test but thts just to be sure, if there's no baby shell be able to recommend something better.
