Is in that really a problem near the ortho evra patch? Should I stop wearing it?
From the FDA site:
"FDA notified healthcare professionals and patients of revisions to the sign for Ortho Evra, a skin patch approved for birth control, that includes a bolded warning something like higher exposure to estrogen for women using the weekly patch compared to taking a each day birth control pill containing 35 micrograms of estrogen. A woman on Ortho Evra may be exposed to approximately 60% more estrogen than if she were taking a typical 35 microgram estrogen birth control pill. Estrogen use is connected to blood clots in the legs and lungs and other clotting problems such as strokes and heart attacks. It is not prearranged if women using Ortho Evra have a high risk of serious side effects than women taking the typical 35 microgram estrogen pills."
If I were you, I'd switch to a birth control pill. The problem beside Ortho Evra and the shot is that they hit you with like mad of estrogen all at once as opposing the pill---you take a small amount respectively day. That's a big difference.
No! I be on it since age 12, it worked amazing! As long as you don't smoke and get plenty excersise to help prevent blood clots you'll be of late fine.
