Use a backup method of Birth Control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for the first seven days of patch use. Continue using the patch on schedule regardless of any bleeding, changing it weekly. During the fourth week, wear no patch.
u will most likely to get your period while on the patch which is not good for u.
Yes, you can expect an unusual period the first one or two times you bleed after stopping the patch. Your subsequent period will probably be more like those you had before you started the patch.
Yes, if you start the birth control patch mid-cycle, your period will be a bit later than you expected.
i think so because i forgot to put my patch on for the 3rd week and i started bleeding.
This is called break through bleeding, it happens to some women when they first begin using any hormonal BC but should stop over the the next 2 cycles. Continue to use the patch as directed.
You should put on your next patch on schedule, regardless of bleeding. If you're still bleeding when that date comes, put it on anyway. If you stop bleeding before that date, you'll still be protected.
Your period may be late if you started the birth control patch a week late. If you had sex during that time, you may be at risk for pregnancy. Take a pregnancy test to be sure.
Keep the patch on and just call your doctor. It's nothing to worry about at all.
You probably wont get your period until you take a break from the patch next. Some people will experience breakthrough bleeding around the time you were due to bleed.
If you were off the patch for a week, you should put on a new patch as soon as possible so that you don't lose protection against pregnancy. There is no need or advantage to waiting to start after your next period.
put the patch on the Sunday after you start your period
No, you don't want to wear the patch during mestruation. However if this is your first time using this method of birth control and you chose to do a "Sunday start" then you will apply the patch on the first Sunday after you have started menstruating. This is ok if you are still "bleeding" because your body will eventually even its cycle out. Your doctor should be able to help answer any other questions or go to: www.orthoevra.com
