hi,

i just went off the patch two months ago. i had my period last month just a day after i would have on the patch. this month i am a few days late, and worried. we have faithfully used condoms-never unprotected. i do have quite a bit of stress with a wedding next month, etc. i am breaking out, which i didn't do with my patch period, so that could be a sign of another real period. any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi maybelrose, welcome!

Stress can be a big factor in delaying ovulation in women cycling naturally and weddings can be huge stressors. If you have been using condoms correctly then you have little to be concerned about. It's not unusual for your periods to be a bit irregular when first coming of hormones and, if you were irregular before you went on hormones you could be returning to that pattern. If AF doesn't show in a few days you can test to see where you are but you are probably fine. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck

      Jill
