The symptoms are exactly the same as if you were not on the patch. You won't have a withdrawal bleed the week you are not wearing the patch. You may feel nausea and even vomit, your breasts may become tender and you may feel bloated.

If you use the birth control patch, you lower your risk of pregnancy. in the first three months of use, you may have unscheduled bleeding or spotting, breast tenderness, headaches, and changes in acne for better or worse. After the three month breaking in period, you should see these side effects disappear.

When first beginning the birth control patch it is common to experience spotting (bleeding between periods), headaches, nausea, and breast tenderness. However, these generally go away in the first three months as your body adjusts to the hormones. Occasionally those who use the birth control patch also experience skin irritation.

If you're on the birth control patch and think you might be pregnant, take a pregnancy test. The patch does not affect the accuracy of a pregnancy test.

I didn't have any and was on it for about 2 years. If using the patch cured acne, or diminished cramps these may return once you stop using but that's about all I can think of.
