i'm new to this board because we've decided not to use the patch anymore and want to start trying... AF is leaving today or tomorrow, and I am wondering if we should wait for the patch hormones to be out of my system or just start trying now....

i've been on it for about a year

tia for any advice.....

Welcome to the board. I was on the patch too and it's the same as birth control pills (bcp). Some when get pg right away and others it could take a few months. You might want to just chart or check cm (cervical mucus) for the first month to give your body time to adjust and figure out your cycle. Or maybe the first 2 months. Hope this helps

Welcome and I hope your stay is short and sweet and that you get the BFP soon

Hi,Are you talking about the once a week patch?If so then it is just like birth control pills and they say to wait 2 or 3 months before ttc the only reason being it is harder for them to predict due date due to your af not being stable when you are just comeing off the pills or patch but other than that there is no reason why you should wait
