My Doctor told me to start the patch the sunday after I start my period.. And the directions say for Sunday start to apply the first patch on the first sunday after your menstrual period starts.. So does that mean that I start the patch this sunday since I started today??

Thanks for your help

Hi Stephanie, welcome!

Yes, starting the patch this Sunday is fine. Remember to use back-up for 7 days (the first patch) until the hormones have built up enough to protect you. Let us know how you like Ortho Evra, ok?

Good luck,
