Does evra patch cause vaginal discharge?

Loved this contraception at the beginning. Skin is clearer than ever, I only get the odd spot leading up to my “bleed”, haven’t noticed much weight gain (probably natural weight gain as I’ve aged but nothing rapid). My bleed is like clockwork every month on a Tuesday and usually lasts 4 days (easy to track). Although I’ve been on it coming up to 3 years now and think it’s time for a change. Weird discharge, lack of sex drive, dryness and terrible mood swings and depression - not sure if it’s just me or the patch, but I will cry over the smallest things. I feel so depressed. Another thing to note is everyone will ask what’s on your arm, and I went to Spain last week and my patch fell off twice with the heat that I’ve just had to take it off and either restart or change to the pill as the pill won’t fall off.

I get really hopeful about using Evra after problems with using the pill and the coil in the past. I don’t react well to synthetic hormones but heard the patch was a bit more gentle. Unfortunately it had a very quick and quite intense negative effect on my mood. I felt extremely irritable, upset, paranoid, distracted and quite frankly neurotic and depressed. I only lasted 6 weeks, I’ve heard the symptoms may start to ease after 3 cycles but I really couldn’t take it any more. Since removing the patch I’ve felt so much better! Maybe psychosomatic I’ve no idea but I felt awful on it and I feel better with it removed so……

Was very convenient and stayed on when on holiday where I was in and out of the sea and swimming pool
