Where do I start?

I have two children and we want more. Just not yet. We would like to wait another year or two. Every time I have gone off the patch I have become pregnant right away. My family jokes that if you cough on me I become pregnant.

My problem and concern is that I was late starting my patch cycle this month. About 4 1/2 days late starting. What do you think the odds or chances that I am or may become pregnant because of it?? I'm slightly stressed.

Any thought on this

Thank-you

Should I try a ovulation kit? Would the patch miscue the results? I'm sure I am stressing over nothing. Any thoughts

If the Patch is not applied within the first 24 hours of your period, you must use backup contraception, such as a condom, spermicide or a diaphragm, for the first week of patch use.


So in other words, starting late with the new patch, it would take a week for it to be effective again.

Thank-you for the reply. That's what I am worried about. I guess now it's the waiting game. I can't tell my partner yet either. He has far too much stress at work right. It is the end of the fiscal year right now.
