What else can I help you with?
Can you get pregnant if your ortho evra patch is halfway on?
Yes, you can potentially get pregnant if your Ortho Evra patch is not applied correctly, including if it is halfway on. The patch needs to be securely adhered to the skin to release hormones effectively. If it is not fully attached, it may not provide adequate contraception. If you suspect that the patch isn't working properly, it's advisable to use backup contraception and consult with a healthcare provider.
What if you miss the birth control patch for five days?
If you miss the patch for five days, put on a new patch when you remember. Use a backup method until you've used the patch correctly for seven days. Consider using emergency contraception if you had sex during that five days.
Are you protected on your 7 day break on the patch?
Yes, you are protected from pregnancy during the 7-day break on the patch, as long as you have used it correctly for at least 7 consecutive days prior to the break. The hormonal levels provided by the patch remain effective during this pause. However, if you did not use the patch consistently, or if it fell off for more than 24 hours, you may not be adequately protected and should use a backup method of contraception. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Do you wait until the next week after already skipping one week to put a new patch on?
If you missed a week of the patch, put on a new one as soon as you remember. Use a backup method until you've used the patch correctly for seven days. Consider emergency contraception if you've 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

If the edges of your birth control patch become loose, it may not adhere properly and could reduce its effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. If the patch is partially detached for less than 24 hours, you can reapply it or replace it with a new patch. However, if it has been detached for more than 24 hours, you should replace it and use backup contraception, like condoms, for the next seven days. Always consult your healthcare provider for specific guidance in such situations.
