Thread: Quick Ortho Evra help Please =/

Q: Ortho Evra question

I'm slightly paranoid and don't really understand something about Ortha evra, So I was hoping maybe someone else could help answer this for me. Background info might be that she has been using Ortho Evra perfectly for about a year.

My girlfriends period came around the 21st of december and ended about the 28, both sundays, and her day of application for the patch is always mondays, so on the 29th the patch was placed on. We ended up having sex on the second of january around evening time. I always use condoms with her birth control just to be safe, but this time it slipped off hanging about halfway out of her.(the condom didn't slip off while inside, just as I was pulling out). We don't think anything got in her at all, even though I climaxed in the condom because it wasn't inside her when it slipped. But we still are nervous in case it did. Just for safety we got Plan B morning after pill as well.

But what I am worried about is what the instructions say for the Ortho Evra, it seems the first week you are supposed to use protection with it anyhow, but I didn't know if because she has been using it for awhile if that affects her or not, or whether it is when someone is JUST starting or not. Either way, it was over 4 days, and I didn't know what that meant for her chances of being protected. Please let me know whether or not the birth control will be effective or not if anyone has any idea.

Thanks a lot.
