Q: Stop using evra mid cycle?
asked by: Giannyuk on May 18th, 2008

I could really do with some help as the leaflets and everything online regarding this are useless!

I am mid cycle with my evra patches and I really want to stop using them. I'm constantly changing them mid-week because they are becoming loose and making me paranoid and now I'm starting to worry I could get pregnant whilst using them and I'd now know, iykwim.

Can I stop taking them mid-cycle? If I do is there any risk of getting pregnant from having sex days before I stop or just after?

Thank you for any replies.

If you stop using the patch in the middle of the cycle you can get pregnant if you have unprotected sex after patch removal. Unprotected sex before patch removal is safe.
