If you leave the week three patch on during the fourth week, you may or may not have bleeding. You do not increase your risk of pregnancy. Be sure to put on the new patch at the end of that fourth week, though, and continue using the patch for the next three weeks, changing weekly as usual.

In electronics, the patch cord connects one stand alone piece of equipment to another. For instance, your printer has a patch cord to connect to your computer. Since the type of connection is generic, many electronic instruments do not have a special cord but a general one which may be purchased anywhere.

Just like an extension cord, the patch cord is not specific to any one instrument.

If you've been off the birth control patch for five months, you no longer have protection against pregnancy. If you want to conceive, start taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid. If not, see about starting another method.

My pharmacist said that heat will make the hormones be overly absorbed in your skin--as a result it is bad to tan with it on. taking it off before tanning and replacing afterwards has risks as well--effectiveness may decrease or it may not restick apparently being in the sun with it on is okay though all of this comes from the pharmacist who works at cvs, so take it as you wish.

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

Yes. The drop in hormones causes the bleeding that occurs during patch-free week. This is no different, as you are not wearing the patch, so the hormones drop, ergo you bleed.
It is normal, You may take a mo. or 2 to get regulated again. If not see a Doctor.

First, what type of bleeding are you experiencing? Is it like a very light period - this may just be spotting, OR is it very heavy and bright red (could be a hemorrhage or miscarriage)? If it is the latter, definitely call the doctor and if you are losing a lot of blood, go to the emergency room! If it is light - like a light period or even a regular period, it is probably less serious. In this case call the doctor and discuss what is going on. Based on what you tell them, they will let you know if they think it is something that needs to be seen to right away or if it can wait. Possible reasons: How long have you been using the patch? It is not uncommon for a woman to experience spotting during the first 6 months or so of use. If you are on "Ortho Evra Lo," you may be experiencing breakthrough bleeding - this is common in estrogen sensitive women, and these women may require a birth control with a higher dose of estrogen (greater than 20 mcg). At any time, did the patch fall off? If so, was there a long time before putting on a new one or was there a long period of time between when you changed patches each week? Stopping the estrogen for a long (i.e. a day) period of time can cause you to get your period. It also increases your chances of pregnancy and the bleeding could indicate miscarriage. The patch may also be less reliable for women >198 lbs (not saying this is you!) and could also result in a pregnancy. Finally, there are other medical reasons for vaginal bleeding. Talking/seeing your doctor will help rule this out (or in!). Hope this was helpful..

If your patch falls off, you need to discard it and put on a new patch. You should not reuse the old one. Your health care provider should provide you with a prescription for a single "emergency patch" that you can have on hand for such a situation.
