No, but one potential side effect of birth control patches is higher estrogen, which can lead to blood clots. Blood clots can cause stroke or heart attack. ChaCha!

PAIN PAIN PAIN, VOMITING , LOW PRESSURE, FAINTING,COLD SWEATS, all these for 12 years, ( iim 26 now) and i didn’t knew , my family didn’t get me to the doctor, (messed up family, another big story), and when I went to a doc, she told me that i have them and its ok.

A: I have it. Ugh. :'(I started my periods aged 12.It lasted for two weeks and then if didn’t come again until 5 months later! I thought there was something wrong with me.Now I’m 16. That was four years ago and I still barely get my period. When I do, its very long and painful…I have facial hair which I struggle to hide (and boys crack jokes at me at school) and my back, stomach and chest has a lot of hair on it too.I have really bad acne on my face and back. I am also slightly fat and I can’t shift the weight!I want a solution. The tummy pains are the worst. I get them most when I’m stressed and that’s not good when I’m sitting exams…I speak to my doctor for help but he just sends me for a blood test to check my hormone levels. 🙁 Ugh. I want help. :(:(:(
