Question
I'm on the Evra patch and I was wondering if it is ok to still have sex on the 4th week of the cycle. The day that you remove the patch for a week where you are suppose to have your period. Do you have to use a condom then? Could you still become pregnant since no patch is on, or does the medicine still work?
Answer
You can have sex that fourth week. Even thought the patch is not on you it is still working.
