How long after stopping Ortho Evra does it take to get pregnant?
I know it is RECOMMENDED to wait until your menstrual cycle becomes regular to TTC, but I just wanted to know how long after stopping the use of the Ortho Evra patch does it take to get pregnant? Some people said 24 hrs, some said a year…Thanks! I was on Ortho Evra for only 11 months. My last period started July 19, I ovulated on Aug 2. A: My sister is a medical transcriptionist and has transcribed for an OB that reported some of her patients that concieved while still using the patch! You really need to be careful with this patch! I developed pulmonary emboli in both lungs because of this and have met several others who developed clots that caused strokes and other serious problems. The symptoms sneak up on you, so be CAREFUL! I don’t have anything good to say about this patch and want to tell as many people as possible about the dangers of this drug! I’m glad you’re not using it any longer and hope that you concieve as soon as you’re ready. Good luck to you.
