Question

i forgot to take my patch ooff n i havent started yet its been like 3 days n im due to put my patch on today what should i do

Answer 1

If you leave it on too long, you could skip a period and you could also get pregnant. I think you should leave it off till you start your period. Put a new patch on the usual day of the week after you start (ex. if you normally put your patch on on a Tuesday, wait till you start your period, and then the following Tuesday put the new patch on). Refrain from having unprotected s*x until you have the new patch on and you're back to your normal cycle. In the future set a reminder on your cell phone or computer to keep yourself on schedule.
