Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn The literature all says to apply it to the listed places, but does that mean it doesnt work at all if it is placed somewhere else?? Help, I am very curious?!!
Avatar f tn My husband and I are TTC, I have been off the patch since december and am still having irregular cycles, has any one been thru this that can give me an idea of how long it'll take for my cycles to regulate and thus concieve?
Avatar f tn 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!

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn NO, IT IS NOT FINE! NOT FINE! If you forget to take your medication, never ever double up the dose. If you remember that day, take it as soon as you remember. If you miss the day, do NOT double up the next day, but take it as you should have done. If you are talking about the contraceptive pill, this only gives you 99% protection from not getting pregnant if you take it REGULARLY.
Avatar n tn how long will it take me to get pregnant after Getting the mirena IUD taken out??? I had my Mirena IUD in for 3 1/2 years. I got it taken out around 3 months ago !!!

I started the Ortho Evra Patch that same day and used it for a month and a week but and I have been trying to get pregnant for the past month in a half and I am still having my period...

Avatar f tn 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.
720228 tn?1530911279 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.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn Anyhow I feel good for the most part but notice during cycle time I get very anxious and tired with tummy issues and until it is over then I go back to normal. I am taking ortho evra but have to change as my insurance doesn't cover it anymore. So I am wondering not taking anything or Mirena. I just thought maybe without Bc I wouldn't be so impacted on my thyroid. And so will b vitamins help my energy. I am a on the go person but since hashimoto I am just not the same.
Avatar f tn 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.
778044 tn?1299542934 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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 ?
Avatar n tn 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.

775949 tn?1252645220 My doctor told me that doing the 6 months of Lupron will help "kill-off" any endo that is left behind after the surgery that couldn't be lasered out. I believe that this will INCREASE your chances of getting pregnant. That only problem is that you have to wait for your period to return after doing the Lupron. I completed my last month of injections in February. I took the ortho evra patch for March, and then I took it off and got my period right away which was good.

Avatar f tn Last cycle on my 3rd patch, right before the patch free week, my patch fell off. This was on Monday, so it came off two days earlier than it usually does. I kept it off to have my patch free week and get my period , then exactly a week later on Monday I put a new patch on to start a new cycle. Am I protected ? Was I protected during the patch free week ?
