Forget to use evra patch

Anonymous 17 months

I am 28yrs old a mom for 2 kids. I am using evra patch. I used it for 3 week, and the 4th week is a patch free week. But now i forget to start using the another 1st patch at the 5th week. Should i just started to use it at the 6th week?

Good day! Thank you for contacting us.

We understand your concern regarding your missed contraception. For your information, if you missed your first patch after the patch free week:

Apply a new patch as soon as possible
Keep the same patch change day
Finish the cycle of patches and start a new cycle of patches without a patch-free week
Consider using additional or backup birth control method, for example 7 days of contraception pills

A good family planning is the secret for a successful and happy family

Family planning is vital to maintain the well-being of your family. Talk to a specialist to discuss what’s best for you.

If you are still confused and have doubts, we suggest you to talk with a doctor for another method of contraception. Alternatively, you may talk to our doctors by contacting us at (DoctorOnCall). Thank you.
