I stopped the patch on August 13 and I got my period as expected but this month I have not gotten one. Is it possible that it is still getting out of my system? I have taken 4 pregnancy tests and the first one said pregnant the next 3 said not pregnant/ negative. The first two tests were Clearblue Easy Digital and the second set was Fact Plus. I'm so confused I have a DR's appointment Friday but I'm hoping someone can give any advice to ease my mind before then. Any advice would be appreciated


EDA: I should mention that I was on the patch just under a year and I have not taken any other form of birth control. I was not on any before the patch either.

Thanks Jill. So you think it is normal that I haven't gotten this months period?


I have never done this before so it is a new thing for me to experience. Would you really think it would cause that if I've only been on it just under a year? I have heard that the patch works at a more concentrated level so if that is true maybe that is why.


I really appreciate your insight.
