240 Questions

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.

Should you patch or just replace exhaust components if there's a small hole right before the muffler?

If the hole is smaller than a nickel, I would not worry about it. If the hole is on the bottom side of the exhaust pipe, it might actually be a good thing, as it would allow the water in the exhaust to drain out before it enters the muffler. Some newer cars have drain holes in the exhuast system to prevent things from rusting out quickly.

How many days before taking off the birth control patch can you be sexually active?

If you've been using the patch correctly as scheduled, you can have sex just before or during your patch-free week without special concern about pregnancy. If you've made any errors in use, use a backup method.

What was Psyche supposed to put in the little box to take to the underworld?

The box was empty when Psyche left for the underworld. She was supposed to have Proserpina, the Queen of the Underworld, place a bit of Psyche's beauty in the box. When Psyche leaves the underworld, she decides to open the box and take a little bit of the beauty for herself, but the box does not contain beauty; it contains sleep, and Psyche falls asleep. Cupid, who has by now forgiven Psyche, rushes to her aid, and puts the sleep back in the box, waking Psyche. He then appeals to Jupiter, who decides that Psyche be made immortal and marry Cupid.

What type of cycle do you have if you get your period every month for 5 days?

The sort of cycle you have is worked out on the number of days from the start of one period to the start of the next. An average length cycle is 28 days, and one of 32 would be a long cycle. 5 days is an average length for a period, and it sounds as if your cycle length is about average too.

Can you use an e cig while on the patch?

Using an e-cigarette while on a nicotine patch is generally not recommended, as it may lead to an excessive intake of nicotine, increasing the risk of side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and increased heart rate. Both products deliver nicotine, and combining them could undermine the effectiveness of the patch in helping you quit smoking. It's best to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice on smoking cessation methods.

Can you patch over a patch on a vinyl liner or do you need to pull the old patch off?

The patch will hold better if you remove the existing patch. If you patch over the existing patch, make sure all the edges are sealed off.

If you are tired of replacing your vinyl liners, you might want to check out fiberglass as an option. A new fiberglass surface can be applied to your pool, and you will get a much longer life out of it. You can read more at: http://www.advancedpoolcoatings.com

Is it normal to have a period a few days after removing a birth control patch when the previous period was only two weeks before?

Yes. The patch was moderating your hormones, and removing the patch disrupted the hormone levels. One possible response of your body was a period. The other possible response was ovulation (dropping an egg - becoming fertile).

Will your period come early if your patch came off a couple days before your patch free day?

If you're using the patch you don't get a period full-stop - just like the combination pill this method of birth control suppresses your cycles to stop ovulation, thus no menstruation. You get a withdrawal bleed due to the drop in synthetic hormones during your week break, thus if you take the patch off early that drop will occur early thus in turn your withdrawal bleed will be a week early too.

Is it normal to skip a period the first month on the patch and should you be worried about pregnancy if you've been having sex with a condom?

The skipping of the period while on the patch is common. The way the hormones are released, there's a chance your period will be late or, in some cases, even missed. Don't be too worried about it since you're on the patch AND using a condom regularly. But, if you are worried, go and buy a home pregnancy test just to make sure. And don't worry, Ortho Evra won't affect it.

Can the birth control patch cause a missed period?

I noticed a white non-smelling discharge during the first week of using the patch. Any changes in you hormones (using bc pills or the patch or shot etc) can sause things to chnage in your body. Some women get a slight rash, or vaginal infections and such.
