period?

I've posted here before with a dumb question so I guess here goes with another one.

I was just wondering, with the Ortho Evra patch, on your week off, how long does it take to get your period? I'm a Sunday starter, and this is my first month taking it and today was my first day of the week off.

Thank you.

It can take several days to start your period after you take off your patch.

Sorry, another question.

I had sex today, with a condom, and then like an hour later there was very light blood in my underwear. I was wondering if this could be my period? My period was always 2 days, so could it just be this light because I'm now on the patch?

Also, once there is blood, does that mean that the hormones are going out of my system and I can now get pregnant?!

I got my period today. It seemed a little darker than usual. Weird or not I'm not sure.

I pretty much know nothing about this, so...

So getting my period now, means that I was definitely not pregnant from the past weeks, correct?

But, when I just asked you if I could have gotten pregnant when I had no patch on, Sunday, if I did get pregnant, the egg wouldn't be impanted yet, and I could still get my period now, and then it will implant later and I will get implantation bleeding then?

In NO WAY at all so I want to be pregnant, I am just trying to see if I should still be worried although I got my period?

Thanks so much!!!!

The thing is that I DID have sex without a condom, it was the day that I told you that I had just a little spotting of blood. He pulled out though.

But if I had my period on time from the patch, then that would mean that most likely I didn't ovulate, right?

This was my last question! Thank you!
