Is It Ok To Have Unprotected Sex Just Before Taking Off A Birth Control Patch And Getting A New Patch A Week Later?
If your on the Ortho Evra birth control patch and your in your third week and the patch comes off tomorrow. It stays off for a week and then another one gets put on the week after. I had unprotected sex last night and wondering if I ll be okay and not get pregnant

Hi, I understand your concern.
Orthoevra is a combination of estrogen and progesterone tablet used for contraception. U have been taking it in the right way of 3 weeks on and 1 week off which will help u to get withdrawal bleeding.. Take the next patch after 7 days off.Since u have taken it correctly, there is less chances of getting pregnant.. Hope I have answered your queries. Good day..
