My girlfriend is on ortho evra patch. It says wait one week before having unprotected sex. Well it was day 9, and I came inside. Should I be worried, or is that 7 day wait pretty accurate.

G/f 9 days on patch. Should I be worried?

If the patch didn't come off at any point, you're good. 7 is the magic number for both the pill and the patch. Not to worry you, but since it's 99.7% effective, there is a 0.3% chance that she can be preggy. If it's killing you, just get a preg test.

thanks alot

Isn't that 0.3% over the course of a year, not per, ehhh, session?

reads giant info sheet that comes with pills ...and you're right! "A 99 percent effectivemess rate means that if 100 women used birth control pills for one year, one woman in the group would get pregnant."
