I Skipped My Period And Now What??? Posted: 08-31-05 19:18pm
Okay so im on the patch, and I wear a
patch for three weeks then one week off
and then back to the three weeks. Well I
accidently put a fourth one on, and now
the week is over and I have taken it off
to have my period...But no period
yet...Just lots of cramping. Has anyone
else done this? I feel sick and it scares
me. The doctor told me it was fine, and
that I should spot and have a period like
normal. But will my body think its
pregnant? Will there be morning sickness?
Ahh im freaked, what do you know. Help!

Ahh I wouldnt worry about it, I was on the
patch for two years and afte like 4 months
of being on it, I would literally plan
when my period best fit my scheduale by
just keeping my patches replaced for more
or less weeks. And I never had problems
with my period starting till I got off of
it. Mine usually started 5 days after I
took it off. I really think your fine,
the only thing I ever worried about when I
did that, is the third week, if I had
unprotected sex (i always used a backup)
that third week before my period, I would
worry, but nothing ever came out of
it..Luckly I think...Lol I think your fine
hun.

You probably just threw your body for a
loop. I've skipped many times...Wouldn't
worry about it. There shouldn't be
morning sickness, they may have just meant
you may have a little nausea from the
additional week on the patch. Birth
control in general tricks your body into
thinking it's pregnant so that you don't
ovulate - this was there isn't a chance of
becoming pregnant. Isn't it cool that
birth control can do that?! :)
