What is birth control patch?

A birth control patch is a small, sticky square that you wear on your skin, releasing hormones (estrogen and progestin) to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation and thickening cervical mucus.
Is one of the many methods for men and woman to prevent pregnancy. There are many different methods of birth control. Some types protect against sexual transmitted diseases. Depo-Provera does not protect against STD’s.

Hear from Our Patients Say

This is an amazing resource for women’s health care!! The staff was so incredibly helpful and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in.

The wait was surprisingly short and they don’t overbook so the lobby is very calm. I recommend this clinic for people from all economic backgrounds. I didn’t have insurance and they submitted an emergency mediCal request so the entire visit was covered. This will be my go-to from now on

The staff were very kind and all were working very hard hard to address all the patients there. I was able to get a same day appointment. Cindy was doing so much to keep the patient flow moving. I really appreciate the care I received here. I wish they could get more funding to upgrade their facility a bit, but the office was definitely clean.

I was a walk in and they worked with me and they find ways to help if you can’t financially afford treatment. They listened to me and my needs and were very sweet and attentive. I will be coming here over planned parenthood any day really loved the staff, the front desk the nurse practitioners everyone was so kind which makes experiences like family planning much more enjoyable. ——oh also wanted to add there is parking on Chicago street and it’s 50c an hour so it’s pretty convenient.

Understanding How Family Planning
Services Work at Her Smart Choice

It contains a combination of the hormones progesterone and estrogen. The patch prevents ovulation, which releases the eggs from the ovaries during a woman’s monthly cycle.

The hormones thicken the mucus produced in the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to enter and reach any eggs that may be released. The hormones sometimes affect the lining of the uterus. Therefor if the egg is feterlized it will have difficulties attaching to the wall of the uterus.

Patches are similar to other birth control that use hormones. Such as “the pill” and ” the ring”, they are based on woman’s monthly cycle. The patch must be put on the first day of monstrual cycle or the first sunday after menstrual cycle begins. Patch will be replaced on skin once a week for three weeks in a row. It can be applied to four areas only: the abdomen, the buttocks, upper arm, or upper torso, except the breasts. On the fourth week, no patch will be applied. For woman’s menstrual cycle will be starting during this time.

How Well Does It Work?

Many studies suggest that the birth control patch is as effective as the birth control pill. Which means that about 8 out of 100 couples will have an unintended pregnancy during the first year of use. The chance of getting pregnant depends on whether the patch is used correctly. Delaying or missing a weekly application or removing a patch too early, reduces its effectiveness and increases the chance of pregnancy.

For woman who weigh more than 198lbs (90 kilograms), run the risk of the contraceptive patch being less effective in preventing pregnancy.

Therefor the effectiveness of how well each type of birth control method works, depends on many things. Which include wether the patient has any health conditions or is taking any medication that may intefere with the patch. The effectiveness of the patch at preventing pregnancy also depends on whether the method chosen is covenient to the patient. Also, whether the patient remembers to use it correctly at all times.
