Using the patch for birth control has its ups and downs

The AP has reported that using the Ortho Evra birth control patch can increase a woman's chances of blood clots versus using the birth control pill. According to the article, we are exposed to more hormones this way than we are if we use the pill due to the way in which we absorb the medicine. Imagine that! Now we have a whole new excuse to be hormonal and feel blotted at the same time. No I am not making fun..Just lightening the mood.
