Sorry for the vague subject title but i'm
not sure what to call this. I'm also new
here, this is my first post.
I'm not sure what is going on right now.
I finished my last period two weeks ago,
around the 13th. I am on ortho evra and
have been on that since march, and before
I had been on orto-tri-cyclen for about 2
years. I've never had any problems with
spotting or irregularities with my
periods. I switched my patch on
saturday, as I always have, but I had
trouble getting it to stick this time, so
I changed it as soon as I noticed this,
only a few hours. Yesterday I noticed
that I started spotting, light brown and
very very light. This morning it was the
same except for a piece of tissue I guess,
came out too. I put a tampon in and went
about my business and when I came home I
had very dark bloody discharge. I've had
minor cramping, a lot milder than I do
when I have a period, and some lower back
aches, not really pains, it's just been
achy. Over the past few weeks i'd had
some issues with eating, things would not
sit right, they'd either go right through
me or i'd get terribly nauseaus. I never
really put these things together, still
don't know if there is any link. I made
an appt at my gyno, but can't be seen til
wed. Does anyone have any ideas, i've
never been pregnant before but could this
be a miscarriage? Any input would be
great, thanks in advance!

How long was it before you realized your
patch was not sticking and you changed it?

I noticed it within a few hours, it wasn't
totally off, I just knew it wouldn't stay
on for a week so I changed it.
