Mommas who is still up? So I just started my first birth control patch, anyone else on the patch and how effective is…

I was on the patch and it was horrible. I was on it for close to a year when I started to get a bad rash where it was. I had my jaw bone start to deteriorate because of it to where I had to get surgery. as effectiveness I didn't get pregnant but I was a teen and we used condoms too.
