How soon will I ovulate after the patch?
| Fri, 10-15-2004 - 11:59pm |
Hi! I was using the Ortho Evra Patch. I took my patch off on Sept 29 for week 4 and my husband and I decided to stop it and try for our second. So I didn't fill my prescription. So I was just wondering how soon after getting off of the patch do you ovulate? Is it right away since you don't have the medicine preventing it, or does your body need time to get back to "normal?" I don't expect to get pregnant right away, though it would be nice. :-) Just wondering if anyone had any advice or experiences they could share with me. Thanks so much!

Some women begin cycling immediately after stopping hormonal contraceptives others can take a month or two. Depo is the exception. Depo can delay the return of fertility for some women for 18 months or more. When I stopped OTC I got my first natural period in 34 days. Some doctors suggest giving yourself at least several months for your hormones to stabilize before TTC. Wishing you the all the best. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Take care,
