YES, you could be pregnant.

What you SHOULD have done is take PLAN B, the morning after pill RIGHT THEN, and it would have prevented pregnancy.

You should take a test now.

You could be. Yeah just go take a test and see. If not start your bc again. Just be very careful about making sure its on or switch to a new one. We have seen alot of women who end up switching because the patch comes off or leaves kind of a rash. But alot of women really like it and have no problems with it. It just depends on your skin really. Just make sure not to tape it on. We had one lady that did that with her patch and her nicotine patch. Yeah not so good, it doesn't work like it's supposed to then! ha! Anyways.....Good Luck!!
