I'm on the birth control patch

Brief Answer:
detailed below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

I apologize for the delay in answering your query.

If you have changed the patch every week then the level of hormones in your body is enough to prevent ovulation and as a result to prevent pregnancy.
You have nothing to worry ,this is a very effective method to prevent pregnancy.It means that you don't need any other birth control method like pulling out method or others.If you use the patch in the correct form,as directed by your doctor (change it once a week ,the same day and in the fourth week a placebo patch ).

Hope it helps.
Please feel free to ask for every question you might have.

Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
