Birth Control Patch

If you are a female who has a trouble remembering to take a tablet daily but do not desire to get pregnancy, the Ortho Evra birth control patch might be ideal for you.

Details of Birth Control Patch

A beige-colored birth control patch is 1-¾ inch square that holds to your skin. It can be applied to one of the four regions of your body:

• The back or front of your upper trunk, with the exemption of your breast
• Stomatch
• Upper outer arms
• Buttocks

The patch carries a continuous supply of two synthetic hormones, estrogen and progestin, which holds back pregnancy by stopping you from ovulating, and is merely obtainable by recommendation. The patch as well thickens your cervical mucus. This formulates it hard for sperm to go into the uterus and get in touch with any eggs that may be released.

Usage

You will place the birth control patch on the foremost day of your period, or on the first Sunday later than your period starts. Once you apply the patch, depart it there for a week, and subsequently restore it with a fresh patch. You will do this every week for three weeks. Every time you put on a fresh patch, you have the choice of placing it in the same place where the previous patch was placed or on other part of your body. The fourth week is patching open. Merely like with birth control tablets, you can expect to get your periods at some point in this fourth week.

Efficiency

The birth control patch is above ninety-nine percent efficient at stopping pregnancy when applied appropriately. Ladies who weigh more than one hundred and ninety-eight pounds may find the birth control patch less efficient at stopping pregnancy.

Consequences

Birth control patches share same health threats with oral contraceptives. Though serious health threats are not common in healthy nonsmokers, there is a danger of increasing blood clots in the lungs or legs or, heart attacks, strokes and hypertension.

Latest studies recommend that the Ortho Evra contraceptive patch reveals ladies to higher stable state estrogen level than the most birth control tablets.

Minor consequences include:

• Headaches
• Breast tenderness
• Irregular vaginal bleeding
• Nausea
• Skin infection at the application site
• Menstrual craps
• Weight gain
• Upper respiratory infection
• Difficulty wearing contact lenses
• Abdominal pain or bloating
