Evra Birth Control Patch

[hoongirl]

So I've been off birthcontrol for a few months, and just started up on the Evra Patch. My patch change day is sunday, so I took off my 3rd patch of the month on sunday, and now I'm waiting for my period. Am I supposed to get my period immediatly, or does it take a couple days? Its now monday night here, so Im a tad worried.

Well since you haven't been on birth control for a few months, your period has to re-regulate. It usually takes a month, meaning it should be coming around your patch removal date next month.

And it won't be on precise time, but it'll be about the same every single time, within a couple days lenience. Mind you, thats how it is with most birth control methods anyways.

So definitely don't worry about it, unless you don't get your period by the end of the week. And have you had unprotected sex? I'm sure you know that birth controls need a month gestation period for the hormones to start actively protecting you from pregnancy.
