Is your period suppose to be on while you have on an ortho evra birth control patch?

While using the Ortho Evra Birth Control patch, you typically have a scheduled period during the patch-free week. The patch is worn for three weeks, followed by a week without a patch, during which withdrawal bleeding (similar to a period) usually occurs. However, some users may experience lighter periods or skip their periods altogether. If you have concerns about your cycle while on the patch, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider.
