Hi all, i'm new to this site, but was wondering if anyone can help. i came off the Evra patch 3 months ago now after using it for about 5 years (as i couldn't get on with the pill). Had a withdrawal bleed about a week after coming off it, and have had two periods since - 34 and 37 day cycles. Don't know how long my normal cycles are tho, as i was put on the pill from age 12 (painful periods) and have been on some form of hormonal contraception ever since (now 22). Just wondered if anyone knew how long it takes for it to truly come out of your system? i've had acne and stomach aches etc. which i think might just be my hormone levels sorting themselves back out. Good luck to everyone trying at the min tho, Danni x

Hi Danni, I was on the Evra Patch for two years. Came off it in April and been trying ever since. When I was on the patch my cycle was 28 days, but since coming off it my cycle has been 32, 36 and this month is it 39. So I think my system is still not back to normal. When I first came off it I felt really bad. I'm never going on it again. Because my cycle has been all over the place, I've had to buy a clearblue fertility monitor to pinpoint when I am ovulating so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this month. I'm on the 2 weeks wait now. Goodluck. x
Ahh, thank you. i was fine whilst i was on it, but since coming off i'm just the same - sick as anything, dizzy spells, hot and cold flushes! i bought some ovulation sticks and am giving them a go at the min, so lets hope for the best. i hope you get the BFP we're all hoping for x
