I didn't think they were offered anymore, I had a terrible time with them, started bleeding and never stopped and yet had never previously had a problem. I found patches floated off as I sweated so much they just wouldn't stick. So opted for implants but you have to guess when they are running out, anywhere from 4-6 months and as I said I had issues with bleeding so stopped having the implant replaced thinking the bleeding would gradually ease off as the drug left my system but it didn't it just got worse and I found myself having to decide whether to have a hysterectomy which was a shock as I'd never had any issues prior to the implants. I opted for hormones which fortunately eventually controlled the bleeding. I wouldn't wish what I went through on anyone. Sorry.
