it depends on you're lifestyle. if you are a person who has a hard time swallowing pills, or doesn't have a lot of time to take something daily, the patch would be better because you only apply it once weekly. the pills sometimes can take longer to come into effect (depending on what brand you use) because it has to go through you're digestive system and it doesn't fully work until it hits the bloodstrem, which can take several days to become effective. the patch works more quickly because it is soaked up by the skin and immediately transfered to you're blood. i would say the patch, it's quicker, less hassle, and descrete. and don't worry about the patch falling off, it won't if you leave it alone. it'll stay on through showers and swimming. they only way it'll fall off is if you pick at it purposefully. but if you have concerns with the patch, you could always choose the pill. they are about the same as far as how well they work, there is just slight differences on how it becomes effective and how long it takes. i hope i've helped

It depends on which is more convenient for you. If you can't remember to take the pill daily, then I wouldn't go on it. It's only effective if you take it correctly. If you can remember once a week to put a new patch on, then that's the one for you. Personally I've always taken the pill. I made it part of my bedtime routine so I wouldn't forget it. That's just me though. I tend to forget stuff unless I do it everyday.

If i was you, i would chose the pill b/c then you wouldnt have to worry about the patch coming off. And if it comes off then it would mess up the cycle! Hope i helped any!

I would choose the pill. I know the makers of the patch claim it stays on whether you're showering, swimming, or sweating, but I have found that to be false as I myself used to use it. It would come lose around the edges when I would get dressed and that made me feel less protected. For more reassurance as to the effectiveness of the birth control, I opted for the pill. It goes in and stays in! The only bad thing is that you have to remember to take it the same da, everyday! Something new I've been recently trying is the Nuva Ring. Its a ring you insert into the vagina once a month. No pills to remember, and no patches to worry about falling off! Its great! Hope this helps!

hey, to anwser your qestion, I find that taking the pill work a lot better, from experince and my friends who have always taken BC they found that the patch is more High risk, but I strongly suggest seeing ur OBGYN for advice, dont be scared to ask all the silly question. I can tell u though that YASMIN and ORTHO_NOVUM are the two best I have tryed.... hope this help...
