Plan B?
| Wed, 06-02-2004 - 10:00am |
I'm on the Ortho Evra Patch,I change it every Friday.Well last Friday I forgot to change it,and didnt put a new one until Monday.I had unprotected sex with my BF,I'm so afraid to get pregnant.Should I call my Doc for Plan B?Would I have ovulated that fast?My period is really not due until this upcoming weekend.I'm not sure,if when you remove the patch,even when you're not suppose to get your period,if you start ovulating right away....Please help?

Goodluck!
PS You might want to set an alarm, possibly on your phone so this doesn't happen again : ) I have two watches that go off just to remind me every day!
As other posters said you should definitely talk to you doctor about your situation. You might be ok with IC if it occurred on the 7th or 8th day of your old patch since it does take some time for you to ovulate. It is probably unlikely, but another concern is that a new patch (if not applied at the correct time) takes several days to restore the hormone level in your blood and that could put you at risk from IC even with a new patch in place. Talk with your doc and let us know how you are doing, ok?
Good luck.
