Have any of you used that Ortho Evra patch? How did it work for you? I'm not sure if you all are aware, but there is a lawsuit in the works against Ortho Evra. Apparently it causes severe blood clots and is a serious health risk. I tried it a few years ago, but only for a short while. I had to stop using it because I was allergic to the glue on the patch. What is your knowledge, feedback, or experience with the Ortho Evra Patch?

I used it only for a few months before all the studies came out that claimed it caused blood clots. I stopped using it because it didn't stay stuck like I thought it should. I wouldn't even shower because I was afraid it would make it come off. I would just wash up in the sink. I really didn't care for it.

Wow wouldn't stay on, I guess you should now take it that was sign, like I took the allergy to the glue as a sign that I wasn't meant to use it for a reason. And now we know why.
