The hormones from the patch will be out of your system within days. Your regular cycle will return in four to six weeks.
Like all of the other episodes of bleeding while using the patch, the bleeding you experienced is withdrawal bleeding. Your next period will come in four to six weeks.
The birth control patch is designed to prevent pregnancy. If you want to get pregnant, stop using the patch.
I had the same problem. I am now getting off of the shot and trying the patch because of this. I have had spot bleeding for the entire month. My doctor said that with 2 shots you should have stopped bleeding or have minimual bleeding and since that was not the case for me, it was best for me to stop because it was not the type of birth control right for my body. This might be because your body is not responding positively to it. See your doctor.
Yes it will work and yes it will stop your period from coming.I've done it many times.When you do decide to take it off you will have your period as if you would normally taking it off every 4th week.I've done it stopping my period up to 2 months,but sooner or later your period will come even if you keep putting the patch on if you putit off for too long.

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.
If you stop the birth control patch within days, you may get bleeding again. Contact your health care provider to find an effective method to prevent pregnancy.
You can try it, but you may have irregular bleeding rather than no bleeding. Put the patch on now for the best chance.
Yes it is possible to become pregnant. You need to use a backup method of protection such as a condom.
Yes it can. Discontinuing the patch will likely change your regular cycle, usually by delaying the onset of menses right after going off it. What appears to be a "missed" period is likely a long-delayed one. Yes it definitely can. You can have irregular periods for 3 months AFTER stopping the patch.
If this is unusual for you then see your Dr for a pregnancy blood test.
If you're using the patch you don't get a period full-stop - just like the combination pill this method of birth control suppresses your cycles to stop ovulation, thus no menstruation. You get a withdrawal bleed due to the drop in synthetic hormones during your week break, thus if you take the patch off early that drop will occur early thus in turn your withdrawal bleed will be a week early too.
