Buttstickers-a.k.a. The Patch

[kaelstra.livejournal.com]

I'm on Ortho Evra (the Patch) and yesterday was my new Patch day. I recently went from sticking the Patch on my butt to giving it a try on my shoulder, but the term "buttstickers" still applies around the house, haha.

Anyway, a few hours later, I was feeling absolutely miserable. My stomach was queasy as hell, and it was like a huge fight to keep my dinner down. My boyfriend asked me if I was feeling alright, and I told him my stomach was just bothering me some.

"Oh," he said. "It always does that on your new Patch day."
I was taken aback. "Really? I never noticed!"
"Oh yes. Every new Patch day, your tummy bothers you really bad a few hours after you put it on."

I honestly had never noticed before. My best guess is that the hormones are stronger in a fresh patch than in an old one, and my body is adjusting. How bad does it suck that female hormones can make us queasy, seriously? Blah.

Anyway, there wasn't much of a huge point to this post, except kind of a general query. Do any of you other vagina-lovin' ladies who use the Patch notice any issues like this after putting a fresh one on?

If you're new to the Pill, your body is probably still adjusting, and after a month or two you'll probably get more used to it.

I've been on the Patch for about two years now or so, and never noticed I get queasy on Patch night 'til my BF pointed it out, lol.

Yea, I know probably adjusting. I just switched pills. Just wanted to give an example of the wonderful whore-moans.
