Hello, faith.200. Thank you for posting.

If you’ve been using the birth control patch correctly, you are protected. As long as you put the new patch on after your “off week” (the week you don’t wear one), you‘re protected from pregnancy – even during your “off week” and during your period. This is true of the pill too, even when taking the placebo pills, you are protected as long as the pills are taken as prescribed.

best,

Helena
