I think you're asking if the patch leaves marks. I used the patch for about a year and I stopped using it because it would bruise my skin and even cause little rashes.

I know of two girls who were on the Ortho-Evra patch. They both complained that even after three months their periods were long, drawn out and painful. Not only that, they also had a significant amount of spotting between cycles.

dont take trial meds. especially birth control needs to be talked over with a doctor there are many side effect my friend was on the depro vera shot and she gained alot of weight and her hair thinned go to a doctor free clinic go to\nplanned parenthood someone will help you.go to the gyn and talk about this they will give you different choices of safe sex that wont hurt your body you weight issue will probably go away leave the patches alone stay away from the pills unless the doctor says there safe

i haven't heard of portia specifically but you really need to ask your gyno about it.  if you really do want to use a pill you should just stick to the more known brands like Ortho-Cyclen and such.  the patch is no longer available, it was recalled.

Yes sweetie, it is just old blood, that's why it is brown. A phone call to whom ever prescribes your birth control wouldn't hurt. But I'm sure they will tell you the same thing.

The Physicians Desk reference often called PDR has pictures of all pills. drugs.com may have it also

That would happen to me every once in a while..no idea why (probably because of lack of lubrication/friction) but I was on the pill and didn't use a condom or anything.  Now that I'm off the pill, we use condoms that are lubricated and it hasn't happened to me since.  Condoms are so nice =)

What you describe sounds like chickenpox.  If you never had this when you're a child, this is very likely.  If it is chickenpox please don't scratch, any you break open will leave nasty round scars!

go to the doctor, dont be afraid to own up to a silly thing that you did. trust me...the doctor has seen worse and weirder things than what you described. if you dont have insurance ask a pharmacist if they can recommend any skin ointment for a skin irritation if it dont help then go to the doctor anyways.

I doubt your pregnant.  With any hormonal method, you can have a fluctuation in your hormones which can make you spot.  However, pregnancy can occur on the patch depending on someone's weight.  If you weigh more than 198, the patch can't penetrate the body fat and there isn't enough hormone to keep from releasing an egg.  Some herbs can affect the Pill...St. John's Wort is one.  But I don't think it will affect the patch because it's metabolized in the body differently.
