On Ortho Evra Patch. Have Nausea, Headaches, Dizziness. Pregnancy Test Reports Negative. What Is Happening?

Hello, I ve been on the ortho evra patch for about four months. I started experiencing nausea my first month and straight through. I m also experiencing frequent headaches and dizziness . I ve take multiple pregnancy tests that came back negative. (My last one taken today when I began bleeding and cramping bit I m still on my third patch for another 4 days). I also noticed a few days ago some movement in my lower belly which scared me. I thought it might just be gas or food passing through. But I ve never experienced this and it s happening anytime of the day whether I eat or not... I ve a child and with this movement someone would swear I was pregnant its not in the same direction it s unpredictable. Yet my first response test came back negative. Any advise ??

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms you are having are likely to be due to the hormonal changes your body is going through. Abdominal distension is more commonly related to gas and indigestion. Since the pregnancy test is negative, there is nothing to worry.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
