Q: Patch Question!

Hi I just recently started the patch 3 weeks ago (may 16th) and now I am on my 3rd patch. I am supposed to remove it on sunday (june 6st) and start my period. I don't have any symptoms at all of starting my period any time soon! Is this normal? Usually I would get leg cramps and abdominal cramps a few days before I start but I have none at all. I have white discharge which I have had since I started the patch. I also went from being on depo from june 9,2003 - may 10,2004, then started the patch may 16,2004. So if anyone could give me any advice u can leave a post on here. thanks.

You may just not get pms with the patch, well cramps and such.
Or maybe your body is still flushing out the depo. If you do not get a period at all then I would call the doctor, but it is probably just your body adjusting itself.

Your lucky that your not getting any symptoms of it, when I started the patch for the first three months I thought I was going to kill myself I had all the side effects plus horrible pms. And just so you know when you take the 3rd patch off you dont usually start your period right away, I usualy start mine about 3 days after I take it off.
