I found it quite a pleasant experience. I've always wore a long sleeves and long trousers so it was never a concern of showing the patch. At the end of the week the patch was looking absolutely grogging. The patch is a very pale colour (I am so pale that people come up to me and tell me) and it didn't even match my skin tone. I developed quite a few side effects particularly in the first month. But it all passed so quickly. The anxiety iexperienced was quite bad at the beginning. My mood improved The longer I was on it. I currently have unexplained pelvic pain, unfortunately the patch never helped with that. Another thing is it made my "periods" a lot more heavier, my periods are normally normal and very short. The withdrawal bleeds became a week long and would start off very heavily after 2 days it would start to calm down. After I stopped using the patch my period went straight back to normal and any residual side effects quickly stopped.

I was prescribed the Patch by a Gynaecologist to help treat pelvic/cervical pain. He refused to do any of the checks required (weight/height/blood pressure). He also gave no information on side effects. If he had done any checks, he’d have worked out i have an obese BMI, which puts me in the at risk category (I was unaware of this before using it). After 2-3 weeks of using it, I suffered a sudden “thunderclap” headache, and was later diagnosed with multiple blood clots in the brain. Blood clots are a huge side effect of the patch, and it’s barely mentioned!
