I have been on Ortho Evra patch for a year now & I have had my period for over 2 weeks now. What is going on???


Question: Ok... like I said I have been on Ortho Evra birth control patch for about a year now and about 2 & a half weeks ago my patch fell of like 3 days before it was time for me to change it and I did not know until the day for me to change it came, which was Sunday. So when Wednesday came, I started my period and I wasn't supposed to start for another week and a half. I didn't think anything about it because of the fact that my patch came off early, so I thought that it might be a one or two day thing. Well, it is now TWO weeks later and I STILL have my period and I have ALWAYS only had my period for 5 or 6 days. What is going on here???? Is this something that I should be concerned about??? I have no pain or anything what-so-ever, not even cramping, which I get occassionally when I am menstrating. This is really frustating for me and my husband!!! HELP!?!?!?!?!
Answers: They have released terrible side effects from these patches. Go see your doctor.
talk to a doctor. that's my advice.
that happened to me did you put it back on if so then just take it off and deal with it mine did that and lasted 2 and a half weeks just let it all stop and start a new fresh pack on the next sunday, or whenever you start yours
Ugh, long periods stink! If it's been going on this long I'd go see the Dr. I had one last that long once and they had to change the birth control I was on- that took care of it (thankfully!!). Be sure you are getting enough iron in your diet right now since you are bleeding longer then normal!
Wow I'm glad I stopped using that patch after one month, you need to be asking your OB-GYN about this.
