It\u2019s a safe and effective contraceptive that contains the hormones progestin and estrogen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How the patch works<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the body absorbs progestin and estrogen from the patch, it works similarly to the combination birth control pill. These hormones prevent fertilization by thickening cervical mucus. They also suppress ovulation and thin the uterine lining \u2014 preventing implantation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The birth control patch does not impact your ability to become pregnant in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How often you need to do something<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to change your patch once a week on the same day for three weeks for it to remain effective. Pull your old patch off and change to your new patch. You\u2019ll wear the patch for three weeks, then take a week off where you\u2019ll have your period. You can swim, bathe, shower, and exercise with the patch on. It\u2019s important not to remove it during the week you&#8217;re wearing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits and drawbacks<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting on the patch, learn about the pluses and minuses to see if it&#8217;s right for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Easy and effective form of birth control&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Doesn\u2019t interfere with sex and doesn\u2019t require partner participation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Doesn\u2019t require you to take a pill at the same time every day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only need to replace it once a week<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can be removed at any time if you decide you want to get pregnant&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can help regulate your menstrual cycle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Doesn\u2019t protect against STIs&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requires you to change your patch on the same day every week<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can cause more estrogen-related side effects than the combination birth control pill such as blood clots, stroke, heart attack, liver cancer, liver disease, and high blood pressure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minor side effects can include skin irritation, breast tenderness, menstrual pain, nausea, headaches, weight gain, mood swings, fatigue, and acne, although these often resolve after a few months<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It may not be as effective for people with a BMI over 30<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Effectiveness<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The birth control patch is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy when used properly. If you start on the patch within five days of your period start date, you&#8217;re protected against pregnancy right away. If you start the patch at another time in your cycle, use backup birth control like a condom for the first seven days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where and how to get it&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your health care provider or a family planning clinic will need to prescribe the patch. Your provider should review a full health history to ensure it\u2019s safe for you. You may need a follow-up appointment once you\u2019ve been on the patch for a couple of months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Average cost<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The average cost of the birth control patch is between $60 and $90 a month. Most insurance plans and government health programs cover the costs, including medical visits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who\u2019s eligible<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Most healthy premenopausal women are eligible for the patch, although it isn\u2019t recommended for those with a BMI of 30 or more. Medical conditions such as a history of blood clots, cancer, stroke, migraines, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or diabetes may also prevent you from using the patch. Review your health history, current medications, and allergies when talking with your provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reviewed by the Ovia Health Clinical Team<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-59.oviahealth.com\/guide\/247963\/the-iud-everything-you-need-to-know\/\">The IUD<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-59.oviahealth.com\/guide\/247967\/the-birth-control-implant-everything-you-need-to-know\/\">The birth control implant<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sources<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cBirth Control Patch.\u201d <em>Planned Parenthood<\/em>.
