If you forget to apply your patch on time, use the following guidelines, which are dependent on the week of your cycle you're in.

To avoid pregnancy, make sure you use back-up birth control condoms, spermicide , the sponge for seven days.
Because there's about a two-day amount of continued release of ample hormones, you have a two-day late-window to change the patch at the beginning of Week 2 or 3. If you have left on the patch for up to two additional days:.
If it has been more than two days when you realize you forgot to change the patch, you're at a greater risk of birth control failure.

Smith over a year ago Hey-- I've got a situation to explain, and I hoping somebody with experience or knowledge can help me out :- I've been on the Ortho-Evra patch for almost a year now. It's been great for me! Every other kind of birth control either made me crazy seriously-- hormones were insane or made me throw up. I had already had my period for the month, and put on my first patch like I was supposed to.
Then the patch came off about 3 days later I'm guessing it was then because I found the patch stuck to a pair of my panties that I'd worn that day.
I had a pap smear and internal exam done 4 days ago On the contrary I can tell you one I wouldn't recommend!! I was only on it for four months because I just couldn't take it, I was severely moody, depressed, low sex drive, and when I went off it, I swear if someone even looked at me funny I was in tears. I believe because it is only a weekly thing there were more hormones than say the Ortho-TriCyclen Lo would have.
IMO, I've always felt the lowest dose is probably the best. So, I started taking Ortho Evra back in to regulate my cycles, I took it for a couple of years and it worked just fine. I wasn't sexually active so I wasn't needing it to prevent pregnancy. I stopped taking it in My cycles had been pretty irregular, they were all over the calendar, but this last 10 months, they had been particularly bad, every days.
I'm on the ortho evra patch and I always put it in the same spot. I got a rash in that spot so I moved my patch and that week with the patch on I started my period as I would when not wearing it. I was on it that full time then I took my patch off for my actual period week and was still bleeding. So a total of two weeks on my period. Is this normal when moving the patch to a different part of the body? I took ortho evra for about 4 years and had irregular periods for about a year after i stopped.
We have now been ttc for 2 years and are finally seeing a RE next week. My dr gave me progestin pills to help regulate my periods and when that didnt work i took clomid. I blame my infertility on the patch even though my dr swears it is not to blame. Good luck! Happy to answer any other questions. Maybe my experience can help. I have not been able to find any reference to ortho evra on the web. If you have got this off the web yourself, this may not be a genuine or safe product for you to use.
I suggest that you read the instructions that you should have got with the packet and follow it exactly. I've been on ortho evra for the first time. But now it is my fourth week ,the week with the patch off. All i wanna know is if my period will come by itself? I used to have the implanon before nd i didn't get my period at all. Which is why i switched to the patch so that i would be able to I am on the ortho evra patch.
Like birth control pills, the Ortho Evra patch offers no protection against sexually transmitted infections STIs. If you may be at risk for STIs , it's important to always use condoms along with your birth control patches. If the patch has been off for less than 24 hours, you can usually reattach it as long as it is still sticky.
If it has been over 24 hours, you will need to use a new patch. You should also use a backup form of birth control for the rest of the month. If you forget to change your patch, instructions will vary depending on which patch you are using for weeks one, two, or three , but it is wise to use a backup form of birth control for the entire month.
One of the advantages of birth control pills is that they can sometimes be used to stop your period , allowing you the freedom to skip your period during an upcoming vacation or for a special event. The Ortho Evra patch works in a similar way to combination birth control pills. Talk to your healthcare provider for the best steps for you to skip your period using this patch. You should be able to shower or swim without problems while using the Ortho Evra patch. If your patch does fall off, however, make sure to reapply a patch within 24 hours.
When this occurs, it may be preferable to use a new patch make sure to get a replacement from your pharmacist rather than reusing the patch that fell off, since it may no longer stick to your skin.
