Q about the Patch

Hey girls. I'm on the patch and so far I've really liked it. I'm horrible at remembering to take the pill so this has been great. I don't know how many of you have much experience with it but is it a problem if every once in a while the patch gets a wrinkle in it? Almost like a little pucker in the center? It just makes me wonder if that changes the effectiveness of it. Any info from anyone would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It's fine for the patch to get a wrinkle in it. My doctor said that is normal. Even a little lifting at the edges is fine. As long as most of the patch is attached to your skin, it's ok.
