Question
This is my second month on the patch i took my patch off three days ago and i still havent started my period. Could i be pregnant or is should it be coming?

Answer
Hi Amy,

Thanks for your question. The patch or any kind of birth control is not 100% guaranteed to prevent pregnancy. So it is possible that you could be or else your period could be coming. You will have to wait and see. Also, see if you have any other kinds of pregnancy symptoms appearing.
You could get a free pregnancy test but you will have to find out when to have the test. You can call 1-800-395-HELP or go to http://www.optionline.org to find a pregnancy resource center.

Let me know what happens. You can contact me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
