I just really don't know what to do here. I've been on the patch since last summer and I haven't had too many problems. Last month my patch fell off. That's the only time that's happened. I had my period after that and it was pretty normal. I'm on the next period and it's not really going. I'm a Sunday start and AF usually starts on Tues and she's not here yet. I'm clotting, but there's no blood flow and no cramps (I don't want to go into further detail). I'm not complaining about that really, I just want to know what my body is doing. Should I call my midwife? Pharmacist?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Ann

I'm not sure what a doctor's typical response might be to a strange period.

Thanks, sorry I can't reply sooner. This is one of the websites I can't go to at work. So, only every once a while can I pry DH off the computer long enough to get here.

About an hour after I posted AF started up. I'll just be a little bit more aware of what's going one with me for a little while. I think I might have had a yeast infection. I haven't gotten one in quite awhile, so I'm not really used to them anymore. I haven't used the testosterone cream in over 3 months and there have been no other issues with tearing.

Also, it's still an unsolved mystery why the patch fell off. DH thinks I got a bad batch or something. Since the sticky stuff is the birth control, I kinda doubt it. I immediately put on a new one after that happened. So, we're all good here. I'll put my other sort of news in another post.

Hope all is well with everyone else!
