ortho evra vs the pill

I would never recommend taking Ortho Evra to anyone!!! I was on it for just over a year with no complications when I started to have symptoms like the ones you mentioned. I was convinced someone was going to kill me and I hated being home alone. The symptoms got worse and all of a sudden I had horrible pregnancy symptoms and began having really serious anxiety attacks and was so depressed I couldn't get out of bed.

I have not been able to find any reference to ortho evra on the web. If you have got this off the web yourself, this may not be a genuine or safe product for you to use. I suggest that you read the instructions that you should have got with the packet and follow it exactly.

I am currently on the implanon but will be switching to the ortho evra patch . What are some thoughts or opinions on this birth control ? Is there anything bad you experienced or maybe some good effects to it ? ADVICE ?

I am currently using the ortho evra patch and have been on it for 2 going on three months. My original patch change day was thursday; however, because of a glitch in the pharmacy refill system and transportation problems, i couldn't put the patch on until the next day (friday) for my current patch cycle, so I was one day late on week one which poses a pregnancy risk. I had sex on friday, but I used a condom as back up contraception.

I just finished my first three weeks of Ortho Evra. I've now had the patch off for 6 days and have not started my period. Is this normal? I had a pap smear and internal exam done 4 days ago...would my doctor have been able to tell if I were pregnant?

On the contrary I can tell you one I wouldn't recommend!! Ortho-Evra. Horrible. I was only on it for four months because I just couldn't take it, I was severely moody, depressed, low sex drive, and when I went off it, I swear if someone even looked at me funny I was in tears. I believe because it is only a weekly thing there were more hormones than say the Ortho-TriCyclen Lo would have. IMO, I've always felt the lowest dose is probably the best.

ve heard people have had good results from the ortho evra patch and from the nuva ring, I personally had a couple years of effective use of the depo shot, but don't know how any of those would affect breastmilk supply. The mini arm implants seem to be a more frequently chosen option these days - they have a high success rate, too. This is an important conversation for you to have with your doctor or midwife. They can help talk through all your options.

I was on the patch, ortho evra, it worked good I guess, I didn't end up pregnant again until I quit using it, I believe I gained weight on it though, its one of the side effects but I seem to be prone to gaining weight every time I'm on birth control.

I was on Ortho Evra (the patch), but I have been lucky enough to conceive on the first cycle. However---- this doesn't happen for everyone, so don't get your hopes up too high on conceiving right away. It may take a few months. Good luck!

I am 19 years old and I am using Ortho Evra patch for contraception and I have been for five months. I have never been pregnant before, but I am beginning to think I have some symptoms even though I have NOT missed or had any late/irregular periods. -I've been feeling a pulse in my stomach especially when I lay down and press on the mid part of my stomach just above the belly button.

I am on the ortho evra patch. I mistook my 3rd week as my patch free week. I had sex before the mistake. But no it's been over a week and still no period. Am I pregnant?

Hello, All your symptoms are the side effects of the birth control ortho evra patch. The Ortho Evra birth control patch releases a high amount of estrogen into the bloodstream—60% more than from birth control pills—which is known to increase the risk for blood clots.These blood clots occlude the blood vessels as thrombi and if they get dislodged and occlude the blood vessels at some other site,they are called emboli.

we instantly ran to the store i took plan b within 30 minutes. Im on the birth control patch, Ortho Evra. i was supposed to get my period and still nothing. i need some advice, im stressing. so my question, how effective is plan B after 30 minutes after sex?

I took ortho evra for about 4 years and had irregular periods for about a year after i stopped. We have now been ttc for 2 years and are finally seeing a RE next week. My dr gave me progestin pills to help regulate my periods and when that didnt work i took clomid. that did regulate them. I blame my infertility on the patch even though my dr swears it is not to blame. Good luck! Happy to answer any other questions. Maybe my experience can help.

I'm on the ortho evra patch and I always put it in the same spot. I got a rash in that spot so I moved my patch and that week with the patch on I started my period as I would when not wearing it. I was on it that full time then I took my patch off for my actual period week and was still bleeding. So a total of two weeks on my period. Is this normal when moving the patch to a different part of the body?

When I was 18 I finally got on birth control to regulate it. I started on Ortho Tri Cyclin and then switched to Ortho Evra. I was on Ortho Evra for about 5 years and had no difficulties with it and my period became normal. I stopped taking all birth control in August of 2008. I was expecting to have an irregular period again, but it is much worse. On average I've been getting my "period" about every two months, but I bleed much more than that.

I've been on ortho evra for the first time . But now it is my fourth week ,the week with the patch off . All i wanna know is if my period will come by itself ? & if it doesn't come before i need to put the patch back on what.do i do ? & if it doesn't come is it normal ?

I have a question for anyone using the Ortho Evra Patch to help control their endometriosis. It says right on the box that you are exposed to 60% more estrogen using the patch then other birth control pills. Since estrogen "feeds" endometriosis, how does this make sense? I have been advised by my doctor after 6 months of Lupron injections, to use the patch consistantly (not having a patch off week and not getting a period) until we are ready to get pregnant.

I have been using the ortho-evra patch for about 5 months now. About a month ago I had a boil and was prescribed Doxycline. I did not know at the time that this anti-biotic can interfere with your birth control. I had unprotected sex with my husband during this time. Now still using that patch, when I went to change the patch to the next one I guess I did not stick it good enough because it came off and then a day later my period began. Is there any chance that I could have gotten pregnant.

I've been on depo for the last year and was supposed to be getting my shot again this month after my period. It never came at first I didn't think anything of it until my breast became sore and I started feeling nausea during the day. Took 2 test both pregnant! Then saw my Dr pregnant 6 wks along. OMG!

One i used was ortho evra worked amazing but I made the mistake of using antibotics and her I am 10 weeks prego never been happier.
