Side effects with the Evra patch: nausea and breast tenderness?!


Question: I have been experiencing nausea and very tender breasts for the past week, what could be causing this?

If you havent had these experiences in the past 6 months and they just popped up suddenly I would be asking some questions to your doctor. Other things can affect this as well though. Did you recently go on a vacation.Altitude changes can totally mess with your body. Are you stressed out about stuff? How old are you? Are you currently sexually active? On different types of meds? lots pf things top consider. If you dont get your period then take a home pregnancy test. if its negative then wait until next month. If you dont get your period again then you need to see the doctor definately. Thats what my gynecologist told me to do!

There are some side effects that can occur with using the Ortho Evra birth control patch. Some of these effects will clear up within two to three months. These short term side effects include breast tenderness, mood changes, headache, bleeding between periods, weight changes, and abdominal pain. Conversely, there are some longer lasting side effects associated with patch use. These long term effects can include change in libido, skin reaction where the patch was applied, and depression. Women who have or have had depression may have to stop using the patch if their depression returns or worsens. Patch users should see a clinician immediately if any problems occur while they are using the patch.

Although rare, serios Ortho Evra side effects sometimes occur with use of the patch, as with any other prescription contraceptive. Blood clot in the legs, lungs, heart, or brain can occur. Users who have surgery are at a greater risk of developing blood clot. Other Ortho Evra side effects include stoke, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, transient ischemic attack, and deep venous thrombosis. Women over 35 and women who smoke are at higher risk of these side effects.
