When do you ovulate if you're on birth control?
If you put on the birth control patch while ovulating, you will likely still ovulate. Your next period may be later than expected. You will have pregnancy protection after you use the patch correctly for seven days.
What if you miss two weeks of the birth control patch?
If you had sex while missing two weeks of the birth control patch, you may be at risk for pregnancy. If you had sex in the last five days, consider using the morning after pill. You can restart the birth control patch immediately. Put on a new patch, and use a backup method until you've used the patch correctly for at least seven days.
What if you change the birth control patch less than one day late?
If you change the birth control patch on the scheduled day but not at the same hour, you are still protected. If later than that, use a backup method for the first seven days.
I took the patch off a day early before week off- what happens if I keep the same change date and have the patch off for 8 days?
If you go more than seven days without a patch, you could get pregnant. Either put the next patch on a day earlier to shorten the patch-free interval, or use a backup method of birth control for the first seven days that you use the next patch.
What happens if you dont want to take off the birth control patch anymore?
There is no special regimen for "leveling off" the hormones in your body. If your periods were regular before you started the patch, you will likely ovulate two to four weeks after stopping the patch, and then will have your period four to six weeks after stopping.
Can you get pregnant if you take the wrong birth control pill on the wrong day?

Can you get your period again if your patch peels off not even a week later?
If you don't se hormonal birth control as instructed, you could have unscheduled bleeding. Be sure to use a backup method until you've used the patch correctly for seven straight days.
What should I do if Ive already started the Evra patch but my period isn't due for a few days?

What if you remove the birth control patch late?
Then take it off and make sure you put on your next patch on the next scheduled day you're supposed to.Not much will happen. Your period may be a day or two late but that shouldn't affect when you put your next patch back on.
Does missing the birth control pill for more than three days affect your body?
If you miss three weeks of birth control pills, you should start the pill again as soon as possible. Use a back up method for the first seven days of that new cycle. Consider using the morning after pill if you had sex in the last five days.
When do you start your birth control patch?
WHEN TO START If this is the first time you are using ORTHO EVRA, wait until the day you get your menstrual period. The day you apply your patch will be Day 1. Your "Patch Change Day" will be on this day every week. You may choose a "First Day Start" or a "Sunday Start" as defined below: First Day Start: Apply your first patch during the first 24 hours of your period, which will be considered your "Patch Change Day." If the Patch is not applied within the first 24 hours of your period, you must use back-up contraception, such as a condom, spermicide or a diaphragm, for the first week of patch use. Sunday Start: Apply your first patch on the first Sunday after your menstrual period starts
