Hello! I’m a 21 year old who has tried every birth control pill under the sun since high school and has now resorted to the patch. I have a really bad habit of not being responsible with my bc pills and not taking them on time or just feeling too lazy to take the time to take them because taking pills is already a bit hard for me. Not complaining, that is absolutely my problem and fault.
So I stopped that for a year and started eating plan b’s after my long term partner and I would have sex which resulted in my hormones being extremely imbalanced.
I decided to try the patch because that’s way easier for me to manage but this first week has been a living hell. Migraines, nausea, extreme fatigue, all for the first 3 days and now these symptoms have just been coming in lighter waves. I started Friday and I’m writing this as of Wednesday night. Has anyone had similar side effects/symptoms in my situation or not? I’ve never felt so shitty in my whole life. I will say as of Monday it got better but I don’t want this to be my new reality. I feel so off.
