What if I can't remember to change my patch on time?

To be effective at preventing pregnancy, it’s important to change your patch each week on the same day. Try setting a phone or calendar reminder to help keep you on schedule.

Still not working?

If you use a reminder system and you’re still having trouble remembering, you might want to consider a method that you can forget about for several months or several years. Maybe the shot, an implant, or an IUD.
