Common Questions and Answers about Ortho evra side effects

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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?
So on my sixth month do we tcc on our own or try IUI again? She also informed me that the side effects of lupron will be like going thru menopause( night sweat, hot flashes, joint pain). Do u think that will be able to take vitmains that would releive all those side effects? Does anyone know what % of women get pregnant with endometriosis? Thanks for any advice that anyone can give me.
Talk to your dr about your options after you have baby as some of them you can't use while breastfeeding. I took the contraceptive pill and had to wait til I stopped bf before starting it again. After this baby I'll go back on it again as I've never had any side effects and I'm super good at remembering to take it each day at roughly the same time.
My suggestion is to google Evra contraceptive
patch and see what comes up, specifically possible side effects of
Evra contraceptive patch. Based on what you find, I would probably recommend making an appointment with your family doctor. Maybe
even changing your method of birth control., just a thought.
Of course, your family doctor who knows your medical history is the
best person to discuss this issue with. Good luck getting some answers.
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.
