I have a question about Ortho Evra, aka the birth control patch. I've been on it for two years, and I love it. However, I'm starting to experience pregnancy symptoms, and I want to take a test. My question is: will the hormones in the patch give me an accurate reading on a pregnancy test, without me having to take it off and wait until I get my period again to take a pregnancy test?

Any help is appreciated - the Ortho Evra website, FDA website, and Planned Parenthood have offered no answers. Their 1-800 number is also down for the weekend, and my doctor is out of town. Also, the Vag-Pag archives have nothing on this. :(
