ive been on the patch over a year.sundays are my new patch days-i put a new one on right after i get out of my shower.well i forgot this past sunday to take it off til early monday morning.im starting my period now and as of yesterday ive been horrible cramps/stomach aches-kinda feels like im getting stabbed in the stomach.is it possible to feel this way because i forgot to take it off.ive never had cramps this bad since after having my 1st child 5yrs ago.ive been taking tylenol and thats helping a little but not much.thanks alot rae

The patch you left on for the extra day was your 3rd patch of the cycle, to be followed by your patch-free week, right? I haven’t heard of bad cramps from leaving the patch on an extra day but it could happen I suppose. There is a GI bug going around. Have you had diarrhea or vomiting? If not it’s probably your bodies reaction to the patch. I hope you’re feeling better soon.
Good luck
