Expected changes

I just finished my first three weeks of Ortho Evra.  I've now had the patch off for 6 days and have not started my period.  Is this normal?  I had a pap smear and internal exam done 4 days ago...would my doctor have been able to tell if I were pregnant?

Hi, I have a question about ortho evra. I had a friend who used it but used to apply it to her breasts (instead of her arm, stomach or butt) so it would be better to hide in a swim suit. I am curious if this still works?? The literature all says to apply it to the listed places, but does that mean it doesnt work at all if it is placed somewhere else?? Help, I am very curious?!!

When I first started on the patch.. it messed up my period for awhile.. you just need to stay consistent with putting them on the same day, ect.

Hope it helps : )
