Use after abortion or miscarriage - After an abortion or miscarriage that occurs in the first trimester, the patch may be started immediately. An additional method of contraception is not needed if the patch is started immediately. If use of the patch is not started within 5 days following a first trimester abortion, the woman should follow the instructions for a woman starting the patch for the first time. In the meantime, advise her to use a nonhormonal contraceptive method. Ovulation may occur within 10 days after an abortion or miscarriage.

Insertion is not recommended before 6 weeks postpartum in breast-feeding women. Infection If infection occurs, institute suitable treatment. If infection persists, remove the capsules.
