A member asked:
Orthoevra patch: how soon after initially starting the patch can i have unprotected sex without getting pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1 week.: It depends on when in your cycle you're starting your patch. If it's at the time of your period (first day) then you don't have to wait at all. If it's any other time, i would recommend waiting 1 week before sex. However, do realize that no method is perfect and the patch is not one of the most effective methods of birth control available to you. Consider iuds, implants, and the ring!
