ortho evra and lighter periods?

Question

I have been using Ortho Evra for about 3 1/2 years. My last period and my current period are much lighter for some reason. When I first started using the patch it reduced my period from 7 to 5 days. Can the patch continue to reduce the flow and length? I took preg tests all neg and my nurse prac. said I'm not preg. Has anyone else experienced this reduction over time??

Answer 1

Yes, like with the pill some women do notice a shorter period. I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
