Patch user bleeding early
| Sat, 12-13-2003 - 9:48pm |
I have been on Ortho-Evra since May when I first started birth control. Everything has gone normal...bleeding starts Tues/Wed during the patch free week. My patch free week starts tomorrow so I shouldn't start bleeding until Tuesday or Wednesday. But...I started feeling crampy yesterday the way I usually do the day before I start and tonight, about 30 minutes ago, I notice I'm bleeding lightly and the cramping is getting worse..the same way my period usually starts. But today is Saturday, the patch is still on. So why am I bleeding? I'm 22 years old and in a monogamous relationship if that helps any.

Hmmm, I'm not sure what to tell you.
I've always kept track of my cycle since the day I started when I was 11 and have always been pretty regular. I've just been wondering why I started bleeding before being patch free and if it is a period starting early, why is it day 5 without a heavy bleed day? I'm up to light flow now.
