What was Psyche supposed to put in the little box to take to the underworld?

The box was empty when Psyche left for the underworld. She was supposed to have Proserpina, the Queen of the Underworld, place a bit of Psyche's beauty in the box. When Psyche leaves the underworld, she decides to open the box and take a little bit of the beauty for herself, but the box does not contain beauty; it contains sleep, and Psyche falls asleep. Cupid, who has by now forgiven Psyche, rushes to her aid, and puts the sleep back in the box, waking Psyche. He then appeals to Jupiter, who decides that Psyche be made immortal and marry Cupid.

Can you patch over a patch on a vinyl liner or do you need to pull the old patch off?

The patch will hold better if you remove the existing patch. If you patch over the existing patch, make sure all the edges are sealed off.

If you are tired of replacing your vinyl liners, you might want to check out fiberglass as an option. A new fiberglass surface can be applied to your pool, and you will get a much longer life out of it. You can read more at: http://www.advancedpoolcoatings.com

Is it normal to have a period a few days after removing a birth control patch when the previous period was only two weeks before?

Yes. The patch was moderating your hormones, and removing the patch disrupted the hormone levels. One possible response of your body was a period. The other possible response was ovulation (dropping an egg - becoming fertile).

Will your period come early if your patch came off a couple days before your patch free day?

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.

Is it normal to skip a period the first month on the patch and should you be worried about pregnancy if you've been having sex with a condom?

The skipping of the period while on the patch is common. The way the hormones are released, there's a chance your period will be late or, in some cases, even missed. Don't be too worried about it since you're on the patch AND using a condom regularly. But, if you are worried, go and buy a home pregnancy test just to make sure. And don't worry, Ortho Evra won't affect it.

Can the birth control patch cause a missed period?
