To tell you the truth, I am unfamiliar with the Patch. Here is what I found online.


"Weight gain
Many patients ask about this side effect. Studies have shown that weight changes in young women taking hormonal contraceptives are no different than women who don't take hormones. Some women have noticed mild weight change (1 to 2 pounds) and mild fluid retention when using the patch. Using the patch should not make you gain 10 or 15 pounds"
