A member asked:
Should i continue to use condoms if my girlfriend is on the birth control patch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Condoms help: Prevent stds, if the patch is used correctly she should not get pg, if she is your age or in her late 30s she should be on a lower dose of hormones if possible as the patch has a higher dose of hormones and 3x more chance for blood clot even though the chance is still low.
