Stopped patch, still no period
| Tue, 06-01-2004 - 10:54am |
Last month, I stopped wearing the patch to see if my migraines stop. Last wednesday should have been the start day of my period. So far, no migraine (yay!) but no period either (?!) During this time, my s/o and I have had sex with a condom twice. I know I'll still be protected slightly. But I'm starting to wonder what happened with my period and where did it go! lol
How long does it take for the hormones to be gone and the period to start after that?

It can take a little while for your body to readjust and get back to running on its own hormones. After being on hormonal contraceptives our bodies tend to get a little lazy!

You say "I know I'll still be protected slightly." You will not be protected eight days after removing the last patch of your last patch cycle. I'm glad that AF showed up. Please begin using another effective form of contraception because after seven days you have no effective protection from the patches you wore.
Good luck,
