I really feel you on this, the headaches and mood swings from pills are no joke and it makes sense to explore other options. I don't have personal experience with the patch specifically, but a good first step would be to speak to your gynaecologist or even your polyclinic doctor, as they can prescribe it and walk you through the costs, which do vary depending on the brand and where you get it. Some women also get it through family planning clinics like those under the Health Promotion Board, so that might be worth checking out too. Hopefully another mum here has more specific pricing to share with you lah.
