Can it be done? I'm currently doing that with my monophasic (desogen.. actually the generic- apri), and I'm very interested in the patch. But I love only getting my period once every 3 months.. Anyone tried this/doing this with the patch??

Thanks!

Hi twigs3, welcome!

Yes, skipping periods on the patch can be done. I think members have posted about it. If you switch to the patch I would wait 3 or 4 cycles to see how you adjust to it before trying to skip. Let us know what you decide, ok?

Good luck,
