I used the patch for a little over 2 years, and everything was fine and dandy for the first 9 months and then i started getting horrible nausea the morning after i put my new patch on. Every month i had what i can only imagine morning sickness must be like. I assume it's the large dose of hormones too. I finally switched to the ring and it's great! I'd suggest switching birth control, i loved the patch, but being sick one day of month because of it sucks.
To help with nausea i'd drink ginger tea and eat crackers like saltines, or sometimes drink a little soda, the carbonation seemed to help. more burping, less vomiting.
