Hi,
I have been on the patch for two months now and am in my second week of the third month. I can't find my third patch and need to go get an extra one. I was wondering though if I were to not put it on in time, like say a day or two after my patch change day, would I get my period even though it's only my second week? I would assume I would, but I just want to check. Thanks.

Can you call your doc and have an Rx for a replacement patch phoned in to your pharmacy? You might get your period if you miss a day or two and you will loose your protection. If you miss a day between patches you should use back-up for at least 7 days while your protection is being restored. This info is in the literature that came with your patches. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
