ortho evra when to start

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 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?

I do have a friend that was on NuvaRing and I know she liked it, her only complaint was it felt funny during sex, it would become dislodged and her boyfriend was able to feel it. If it does happen to fall out, in the toliet for instance, you are just supposed to rinse it off and put in back in place! Too weird for me!

So, I started taking Ortho Evra back in 2002 to regulate my cycles, I took it for a couple of years and it worked just fine. I wasn't sexually active so I wasn't needing it to prevent pregnancy. I stopped taking it in 2006. My cycles had been pretty irregular, they were all over the calendar, but this last 10 months, they had been particularly bad, every 20-22 days.

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 used to have the implanon before nd i didn't get my period at all . Which is why i switched to the patch so that i would be able to ...

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.

if i changed from the pills to the ortho evra patch two weeks go nd i had spotting today and in te middle of he night can it be that im pregnan....

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 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'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?

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 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.

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 am supposed to get my period either today or tomorroe and still nothing. i need some advice, im stressing.

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?

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 know that I have my period now but I am unsure of what happens when doxycline interfers with yoru birth control. If I am pregnat when will a pregnany test show positive. Also how long will Doxycline affect my birht control.

I know I have a while before I decide, but I'd like to start looking at my options now. I didn't do well with the pill. It had very negative side effects for me, so I'm thinking I want to do something that isn't hormonal. My mom got a Mirena and had to have it surgically removed because it migrated, so I'm scared to death of those things, too. Any suggestions?

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?

I use the patch, Ortho Evra. My doc tried to discourage me from it because of the risks, but since I have none of the risk factors (age, smoking) I went ahead. Besides, doesn't the pill have similar risks?? Anyway, I cannot remember to take the pill either, LoL, the patch is easy to remember because by day 7 it is falling off-- time to change!

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 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!

Ok here we go...i'm married about to turn 22 and I am on bc, ortho evra (the patch) been taking it for 3 1/2 years almost 4. In January of this year i had a really nasty sinus/upper respiratory infection and was put on first the Z-pak and got worse and it starting traveling to my lungs and then got put on augminton. So i was antibiotics for about a month and during which i was having lots of unprotected sex (i'm a bit of a nympho).

Hi, I'm on my second month of ortho evra patches and I think I may be pregnant. I have swollen breast and they're tender, I have veins on my breast, my lower back hurts, I've gotten sick every night for the past two weeks. My period was late last month and it was super light. I'm took a dollar store test and it said neg. I'm thinking maybe my "period" wasn't a period.

30am I wake up and no matter how hard I try to fall asleep I cant. Another detail I been 2 weeks and a half with ortho evra patch but my ob/gyn says that it does not have to do with it. Been 3-4 days now drinking prilosec in the morning, carafate an hour before eating and zantac before going to bed, but no change. Another detail that might help I am going to the bathroom every day normal color but not the same consistency. I am worried. Please help!

I have been using the patch for almost 8 months, last week decided to use only two patches to get my period sooner and now one and a half week later I’m feeling not myself, bitter, no sex drive, rude and not so happy at all, is this normal?
