Super Long Period... scared Ortho Evra
| Tue, 03-09-2004 - 10:22pm |
Hi, I started OrthoEvra for the first time on 3/1. this is my first birth control other then condoms. 3/1 was also the first day of my period. I opted for the first 24 hour change day because my long distance love is coming up on 3/11 and well.... it would make life easier :) Anyway yesterday was change day and that went fine. Period was winding down. Today i have had to change tampons 3 times and im worried its starting over. Not to be graphic, but it is brown end of cycle blood, which usually means its done. Any advice? I want to be free and clear on thursday. should i douche the rest of it out? please respond ASAP!

AF will probably be a bit different for the next several cycles as your body decides how to react to the hormones from your patch. If I were you I’d let AF finish up naturally. I don’t care for douches. They upset my natural vaginal ph. But some women like them, so I suppose you could give it a try. If you are still spotting on the 11th you might want to try using Instead. It’s a soft menstrual cup that catches your flow and you can have IC while it’s inserted. Instead is carried in the feminine hygiene sections of most pharmacies.

My DF doesn't care what day it is...any day is a good day for him!
We also prefer to avoid the "heavy" days, but that doesn't mean we always do! If the spirit moves us, we do what we want. My husband finds the mess afterwards a bit unpleasant, but a shower helps tidy things up.
Don't think you can't have sex just because you haven't stopped bleeding.
Glad your weekend was good!
