Early Period??!!

Im hoping somebody can shed some light on this for me…

Ive been on the patch for over 3years I’d say, w/ no problems. Ive been on the same schedule for I’d say at least 2 of those years and my period comes on Sunday every time, except maybe once I got it a couple days early.

I got my period on july 2nd last, and am due on july 30th. However, I just got it today??!! I was having weird brownish spotting for the past week (kinda post period looking), but my last period was completely normal, and I haven’t been sexually active since my last period either.

Im grateful it’s early versus late, but I just put a new patch on today. So should I just stay on my normal schedule and keep the patch on? I kno from experience and switching ure period around w/ the patch, that this will b a very light period since my patch is on and my period came, it should end my period pretty quickly, I just don’t know how to proceed… as in take my patch off normal time (next Friday) or not even use a ‘patch free’ (aka placebo) week to get my period next week if I already have it now.

And any ideas why I’d get it early too?

Thanks…just frustrated!
