#Princess general 2 patch skin#

Don't apply the patch to skin that is red, irritated, or cut.ДЇor the first 7 days on the patch, use an additional form of contraception as well to prevent pregnancy. Place the new patch on a different area from the old patch (but still on one of the four recommended areas) to avoid skin irritation. When it's time to change the patch, pull the old one off first, before applying a new patch. For example, a girl who applies her first patch on a Monday should always apply her patches on a Monday. It's important to apply a new patch on the same day every week to make sure that itВ keeps working effectively. (The patch should be applied to one of these four areas: the abdomen, buttocks, upper outer arm, or upper torso - except for the breasts.) On the fourth week, no patch is worn, and a girl's period should start during this time. She will change the patch on her skin once a week for 3 weeks in a row. She puts on the patch on the first day of her menstrual cycle or the first Sunday after her menstrual cycle begins. Like other birth control methods that use hormones, such as the birth control pill or birth control ring, a girl uses the birth control patch based on her monthly menstrual cycle. The hormones can also sometimes affect the lining of the uterus so that if the egg is fertilized it will have a hard time attaching to the wall of the uterus. The hormones in the patch also thicken the mucus produced in the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to enter and reach any eggs that may have been released. If an egg isn't released, a girl can't get pregnant because there's nothing for a guy's sperm to fertilize. The combination of the hormones progesterone and estrogen in the patch prevents ovulationВ (the release of an egg from the ovaries during a girl's monthly cycle). Hormones are chemical substances that control the functioning of the body's organs.

It releases hormones through the skin into the bloodstream to prevent pregnancy. The birth control patch is a thin, beige, 1Вѕ-inch (4ВЅ-centimeter) square patch that sticks to the skin.
