I’m using the birth control patch (Ortho Evra) and last year when I was in Mexico, I had to stay out of the sun as the patch made my skin extremely sensitive to the sun. (I would develop 2nd-degree burns in strange patches here and there.)
My honeymoon will be in Jamaica, so I doubt I’ll be able to avoid the sun or wear long sleeves and pants. Obviously, I’ll have to stop using the patch. But my question is, and maybe you women out there who use the patch know this, how long does it take before these effects from the patch wear off? I would assume it isn’t right away, but what is it? A month? Six months?
