Okay I am a bit scared right now. I have been having sex I am on the patch and when having a sex my boyfriend always uses a condom. Well He is in college and he only comes back on weekends. The weekend (last weekend) he came back was also week 4 (my period week) from the patch. So I decided to skip over to another patch instead of taking the week off. So it was week 1 again. Well, the next week I took the patch off, this is what would have been week 2 but I changed it to the off week so I could still have my period, I decided one day after my patch change day to do this (patch change day= wednesday, day I changed it= thursday)It is now sunday and I still have not had my period. Could I be pregnant, or is it just that I was not supposed to have it yet or something else? Pleas help me!!
sizzlinmandolin answered Sunday November 20 2005, 10:44 pm: That was kind of confusing, but what I got from it was that you used a patch earlier than you should have. What the patch does is mess with hormone levels in your body. If you pump too many hormones into yourself than it messes with your cycle. The thing about birth control is that you should use it exactly as you're supposed to. If you don't it increases your chances of getting pregnant. I doubt that you're pregnant and you'll get your period soon enough. I wouldn't worry about it for now, you could have just missed one. If you don't get it the next time you're supposed to then get a pregnancy test, but for now it's nothing you need to worry about at all. Good luck!

He used a condom, so you really should be fine.
Wait a few days and see if you get your period. If you don't get it by Wednesday, then take a pregnancy test.
Also, you might want to see your gynocologist to make sure that everything is okay.
Really though, you shouldn't be skipping around with the pill OR the patch. Cause that's what gets you pregnant. You need to have a set schedule so that way things like this doesn't happen.
I highly doubt you are pregnant but wait it out and then take a pregnancy test to be sure. If you get your period this week, which you should, when you are done continue using the patch again and chang it EXACTLY when you are supposed to. Even with the pill, skipping a day can get you pregnant.
Also, you need to chill out. Because the fact that you are freaking out over it isn't going to help you any. Stress causes your period to be late. If your period is late as it is, you'll freak out even more. So, calm down kiddo. It's all good in the hood. You should be fine. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
