anyone on the ORTHO EVRA patch continuously?

[fireflicker285 (Trace)]

Can you use the ORTH EVRA patch continuously like the pill? With no period in between? Anyone?
Thank you. bunny

Yes,
I have been on the Ortho Evra patch since my daughters birth 2 yrs ago and I love it! It is sooo much better and easier than remembering to take the pill daily

Hi Trace,

I am on Ortho Evra, but not continuously. I think there was a topic like this somewhere, so hopefully someone will reply with answers that you are looking for.

Hugs and love,
Jess

I actually took the birth control pill continuously bc my gyno. suggested it. I have terribly heavy periods with cramps and she said it is an old wives tale that we have to have a period every month. And, that most woment Dr's, as residents, did not stop taking the pill to get a period. I don't do it now, because, I found I had more depression on the pill but, it was nice when I did do it that way!
