HI I HAVE BEEN ON THE PATCH FOR THREE MONTHS AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE ENJOYED THE CONVENIENCE OF NOT HAVING TO REMEBER TO TAKE THE PILL EVERYDAY...I HAVE GAINED 10 POUNDS + I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE WEEK THAT I DONT WEAR THE PATCH I LOSE ATLEAST 3-5 LBS WITHIN THREE DAYS. I AM GUESSING IT IS WATER RETENTION AND I A GOING TO TRY FOR A COUPLE MORE MONTHS. IT DOESN'T INCREASE MY APPETITE AND I EXERCISE FREQUENTLY SO HOPEFULLY MY BODY WILL ADJUST IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS!
