Do you have to apply the birth control patch at the same time every week?
No, you only have to apply the patch on the correct day, not the correct hour.
What happens if you miss a full month of birth control?
Birth control loses all of its effect the day that you stop using it.
Is it okay to change your birth control patch at midnight of your patch change day?
Yes, it's OK to change your patch at midnight. You just need to change it on the same day, not the same time.
Can you get pregnant if you put the birth control patch on four hours late?
No, you just need to change the patch on the right day, not at the right hour.
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.

Does missing the birth control pill for more than three days affect your body?

Is it risky if you take a birth control pill and used the evra patch at the same time?
It makes no more sense than taking three birth control pills a day. Taking the birth control pill and using the patch at the same time offers no additional pregnancy protection. If you want to double up on birth control to lower the risk of pregnancy further, use condoms, spermicide, the diaphragm, or the cervical cap.
Do you take your birth control the day your period starts?
It's convenient to start the birth control pill, patch, ring, injection, IUD, or implant on the day your period starts, as you then have immediate protection; however, it's not strictly necessary. If you're talking about taking birth control after you've been on it a while, you should take your birth control as scheduled regardless of vaginal bleeding.
Will switching from the patch to the pill make you miss your period?
For a safer protection, you might miss the period between both drugs. You might start the pill on the day you were supposed to start your "drug-free week". You might also start the pill 2-3 days later. It shouldn't affect birth control.
Is birth control effective if you start taking them before your period actually begins and not the last day of your period?
Hi, You can start taking birth control whenever you wish but you must never miss a dose as this will increase your chances of pregnancy. If you want your period to arrive on the same date then take your birth control on the 1st day of your period. You must continue to take birth control everyday and not miss a pill. If you miss a pill or several pills then you're at risk of pregnancy and you must always use a condom for 2 weeks when you miss one or more pills. Birth control does not reach its full effectiveness until you've been taking it for one month and you've received your 1st period while on birth control.
