Patch And Bleeding
Posted: 08-01-05 05:28am

Hi
i'm on vacatgion and i've been on the patch for about 2 weeks now. The problem is I never stopped bleeding. Its not like my period I guess its breakthrough bleeding beacuase of the estrogen in the patch, its lighter I just wear pantyliners, but its really starting to bother me. Its also starting to ruin my sexlife since I hate doing it while i'm bleeding and now it never stops. Please, anyone whose had this happen to her tell me about it, did it just go away? What did your doctor say? I'm really far from home right now and will stay here for a couple of weeks more so its impossible to see my doctor now. Thanks :)

Yup sounds fimilair...For the first three weeks I bled and bled..Then when it came time to take the patch off for my period not only did I not get a period but I stopped spotting.Next monday will be my off week and im praying for a period!!!!So it took about 3 weeks for the spotting to stop but I never even got a period which is think iis a bit odd...

One Month Later And My Period
Posted: 09-10-05 20:11pm

I started on the patch 7 weeks ago, i'm supposed to take it off today and get my 2 period but tomorrow's my birthday and I dont wanna get my period just yet. Do you get it instantly after taking it off, that day later on or a couple of days later? I'm asking this because last time I never stopped spotting and my period was just a gradual increase of that until it stopped so I wanna know if im gonna get it the second I remove it or something.
Can I just leave it on for another day so I dont get my period during my birthday? I also know that u cant get pregnant if the patch falls or something and you replace it before 48 hours so this means it keeps acting... Will that mean i'll get my period 48 hours after I remove it?
