i've been on the patch for a little over a year now. when i got my new prescription i got filled a little late, so i had to switch my change date. i haven't gotten my period yet, and it's my off week. i'm starting to worry. should i wait a month to see if i get it, or should i take a pregnancy test? i'm really broke, so i'm hoping i get it soon!

Boy, have I been there before. =) I'd say to wait another week or so, and if you're really really worried, go ahead and spend your money on a pregnancy test. If you want my totally unprofessional opinion, though, I'd say that your cycle has just been thrown off due to the fact that you switched the date. Good luck!

Your body is probably just reacting to the change of dates. Also, wait a few days because sometimes in the off week, it will take a few days until you get your period. If you really think you might be pregnant, you can take a test...
Just to let you know, my gyno said that they don't give out the patch anymore because supposedly it's not safe...I don't know if you've heard the same, but that's what I was told, just to let you know.
Good luck with everything.

not necesarrily. The "birth control patch" is meant to regulate sessions in females, regardless of the indisputable fact that, in some females it would want to postpone sessions for a pair months. also, the patch is to be worn on the tummy, or on the buttocks, in accordance to producer guidelines. regardless of the indisputable fact that, any neglected sessions, if not already previously stated with the gynecologist, should be stated with the gynecologist. it really is straightforward to get pregnant at the same time as taking "birth control" in which case the "birth control" should be discontinued on the instantaneous for concern of lack of being pregnant. (This, on hind idea, isn't a superb reason to circumvent the physician and to maintain wearing the patch) bypass see the physician with any concerns, please!

hmm, how long is a piece of string?
In some cases 2 missed periods indicate pregnancy in many women.Some other medications can also delay onset of periods. Ant-depressants anti-psychotics etc
Missing 1period is not conclusive, wait!

Your doctor knows best about your health and your birth control plan. It is best to do what your doctor advises. Good luck though I hope everything works out how YOU want it to be!
