Because you only take the pill for 21 days then you have the plecebo pills to take for 7 days. During that time ovulation occurs followed by the period. You can now elect to get the 3 month or yearly shots and never have a period again.

Can you use the patch to move ovulation... My boyfriend in the service is on leave only for 2 weeks and we will miss ovulation. I told him I would try to find a way. We're off by 5 days. Any ideas?

If you are on the birth control patch and then stop, you'll ovulate two to four weeks afterwards. The timing of ovulation is unpredictable. I think you're confused on this point; the fact that you say "we're off by 5 days" seems to indicate that you think you ovulate on a schedule on the birth control patch. That is not the case; the birth control patch normally prevents ovulation. If you want to conceive, stop using birth control.
