ok so i'm on the ortho evra patch and a few weeks ago i had to call in a refill, but i was out so they had to call the doc, but they didn't get it filled until a couple of days later and i went w/out the patch for like 4 days, so my question is can i get pregnant if i had unprotected sex like the day i put the patch on?

Yes. It is possible, after you haven't worn your patch for that long you have to start a new cycle. You would need to wait 7 days from the day you put on your patch (the day that you would change it) before you are safe to have unprotected sex. I very highly recommend that you get on another form of birth control ASAP. The patch is very dangerous, you are 3 times more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke than with the pill. I know it sucks to take a pill every day but it's better than dead. I recommend Ortho-TriCyclen, it's made by the same company and I never had a problem with it.

Anytime you miss a day of birth control can put you at risk of getting pregnant. Just as women who have sex for the very first time can get pregnant, your body ovulates different from everyone else. If you miss your birth control, you need to have protected sex always. Chances are you are not pregnant, but keep it in the back of your mind until you start your next period. What that means is you should be careful with drinking, smoking etc. until you know for sure.

i would call the dr but since missing several days of the patch could mess up your ovulation, I would say it is possible to get pregnant on the day you put the patch back on.

i was on the patch for awhile.. if it was on your week off then no but after that maybe.. most females conceive about 2 weeks after first day of last period.. i dont know.. i personally got off of that and went to nuva ring.. not as annoying..
i was told that the patch was the least effective method of birth control... just a tip

there is always a possibility regardless of what you use. if your are unprotected for four days then yes there is a possibility however slight !! wait for your next period before you panic thenif no period do a test as worry could delay your period also. good luck :-)
