Question About Ortro Patch
Posted: 08-31-05 14:03pm

I have a question for anyone who has been using the patch for sometime. If you want to skip your period, can you just continue taking the patch the sunday that you are to remove it ? Does this make sense? Another words your three weeks worth of patches are up on sunday, but you want to skip your period the next week can you in fact start another series of three week patches and have it be okay?

Yes, it is ok to do that. I have been on the patch for close to three years and I have always gone six weeks and then had my period. Check with your doctor to make sure, but my doctor said it was fine for me to do.
