PK Patch 12 Week Continuous Use

Investigators propose a descriptive pharmacokinetic study of the serum hormone levels of estrogen and progesterone with extended use (12 weeks) of the contraceptive patch. The primary objective is to assess the change in serum Ethinyl Estradiol (EE2) levels over 12 weeks of continuous contraceptive patch use. Additional objectives include assessing the EE2 area under the curve (AUC) during the study time period, as well as Norelgestromin (NGMN) levels and NGMN AUC over the 12 weeks of continuous contraceptive patch use.
