Is it ok to start the Evra Patch after ovulation?
I ve stared using the Evra patch today. The instructions state that you can start on the first day of your period (and you will be protected straight away) or any other time (and you will need to wait 7 days until you are fully protected). I am towards the end of my cycle as my period would normally be due next week. Will I still have this? I m guessing yes because I have already ovulated so there is an unfertilized egg inside me. If I do not have a period next week does that mean the egg will remain inside and risk me getting pregnant, even after waiting those 7 days? Any advise would be appreciated.

Unless you have been EXTREMELY rigorous in monitoring your ovulation (as in you've been tracking your temperature and cervical mucus for months) in order to come to that conclusion... yes, you do need to wait the full seven days. The count-the-days method is pretty worthless if this is that *one* month where you happened to ovulate late.
However: you do not need to wait longer than seven days. Eggs do not survive that long in the body. 1-2 days at most.
