a Question! Posted: 11-02-04 07:35am
I just want to know what you think! Im on
the patch and its going pretty good but
during week 3 my patch fell off on tuesday
(my patch change day is sunday). Since I
had to take it off in 5 days any way I
didnt get another patch. So I went with
out a patch then on sunday *the day I
would take my patch off) I got my period
like normal (because it was my patch off
week)and that lasted until wednesday.
Well my mom was supposed to pick my
patches up this weekend so I could put it
on on sunday. Well she forgot so it's
tuesday and I dont have a patch on yet
hopefully today I will get them. So as of
today it's been 14 days since I have had a
patch on. Is there a really high risk I
could end up pregnant even if I put the
patch back on? Please write back thanks.

Well if you have sex without the patch on
you could probaly end up getting pregnat
if sex is un protected.. And the patches
are not 100% protective anyway.... The
only thing that is 100& accuarte is
abstenece.. And not many people want
that so basically no
matter if u have the patch on or off you
could still get pregnat, but its safer
with it on

Im not totally sure but I suppose it would
be just like missing a pill... Also if
you were suppose to start the patch again
on sunday and havent had any for such a
long time I suggest you talk to your doc
about it before starting again. He might
ask you to wait till your next cycle
starts and he most probably will have you
take a test aswell to rule out the chance
that you did concieve while not using the
patch. Hope everything is ok
goodluck!

More Info Posted: 11-04-04 11:53am
I just want to give u more info. Well the
hole 14 days I didnt have the patch on I
did have unprotected sex. My boyfriend
didnt want to put on a condom, I know
thats not an excuse. Yes he also did bust
in me every time. Well I mean we live
together so I mean if I ended up pregnant
I end up pregnant. The patch fell off
october 19th (during week 3). The patch
wasnt supposed to come off until october
24th. On october 24th I started my period
and it lasted until october 27th. Thats
the normal length of my period. When is
the earliest a test would work? I have an
accuclear already I havent taken it
though. Going by when I started my period
I should start my next period november
20th. Should I test on the 20th? Please
someone write back thanks.
