A member asked:

Can you ovulate while you're on the ortho evra patch?

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Yes: Actually many women on birth control of all kinds ovulate. The major mechanism by which hormonal contraception works is its effect on the uterus. So yes you may ovulate but the uterus does not allow implantation.
