Getting Pregnant During the Off Week Posted: 08-29-05 00:11am
When I have to take the patch off for my
period can I still get pregnant if I had
sex a few days before taking it off?

I would say no; the chances are so
astronomically small that... Not, hehe.
But if you're not sure, get tested :)

Omgosh, I have been on the patch for two
years, and I have been avoiding that this
whole time. Lmao.

The chances are small because your body
has not ovulated while the patch has been
on. What I don't know is if your ovaries
ovulate after the patch is taken off (or
once girls start on the sugar pills).
If you do ovulate, then if semen somehow
survived in your vagina or something, and
you got off the meds for your period, and
then ovulate, and then get fertilized, all
before your body starts menstruating...
Ie..... I'm thinking .001% chance :d

The box says u dont need any other form of
contraception on the off week... Ive
done it on the off week and i'm not
pregnant... At least I hope not :s:s!!
The box says that if you r off the patch
for more than 7 days in the off week or 48
hours any other day you may ovulate but
not before... I'd never doubted this now
thanks to you i'm paranoid and tomorrow
i'm buying a homepregnancy test :(

I have been on the patch for close to
three years and always have sex during the
off week and have never been pregnant.
Just be sure to remember to put it back on
seven days after you took it off!
