I'm new in here, but i needed opinions
fast and I googled this forum. Well, the
last half a year I have been having
problems with my period. So I decided to
get back on birth control to straighten it
out. Well, I just got on the patch last
month. I spotted almost everyweek except
the third week. Well, now its the fourth
week and monday I thought my period was
starting because blood on underwear.
Anyways, sorry if this is tmi. I put a pad
on and I wore it all day. When I took it
off that evening it was not even 1/8 full.
The same thing yesterday. And its still
looking that way today. Is my body not
adjusted to the patch yet or is something
wrong? I did have unprotected sex twice
last week and once on sunday. My fiance
couldn't keep his hands off me.
I also might think this is related to me
having my son a year ago. I know sometimes
a baby can screw up your period, but i
just need advice.

Welcome to ehealthforum! The spotting is
most likely related to you going on the
patch. It sometimes takes the body a few
months to regulate to the hormones and for
spotting to stop. If you were on the
patch for one full week before you had sex
without a backup method then you are
protected. You said your fiance and you
had unprotected sex last week, so I'm
guessing that is more than a week after
you started. If that is the case, you are
protected.
