The progestogen in the patch is changed by the body into the progestogen found in popular combined pills like Microgynon and Rigevidon. The risk of blood clots with the patch may be slightly higher when compared to other combined methods.

Overall good birth control. I do get random cramps throughout the day ever since I started it and my skin is irritated and itchy where I place my patch.

Evra patch
Overall good, so far effective. But my periods are a lot heavier and a lot more painful. Tender breasts for at least half of the month and random cramps throughout the month even when I’m not on my period.
