Pregnant while on Patch?

Question

I'm being completely paranoid but this is ending my third month of using the patch. I'm on my off week/period week. The other months I'd take it off Wednesday and by Saturday I'd have my period, have it thru Monday/Tuesday and then re-patch Wednesday.

But it's Saturday night and I feel fine. Soooo my minds getting concerned there may be another reason it's delayed 😬.

Does anyone have experience either getting pregnant while on the patch or having a delayed/missing period?

Answer

First the patch after long term use is used to shut down your periods basically coat your uterine wall with mucus so that blood does not stick and so that you will not ovulate.

The patch is 98 percent effective if used right but there is still,a,chance of getting prengant like all birth control it can fail if you use it wrong or have sex on your off week.

As for my personal experience I did miscarry on the patch but it was super easy in the process and my fault because I guess I got pregnant on an off week skipped put the patch back on. I had an ob appointment for something else and my ob,always does a pregnancy test if your sexually active it came back positive I took the patch off when I found out a few weeks later I started bleeding went to the er for it and was told my body miscarried I started the patch back up as soon as I was done bleeding.
