Q: period lenght increased due to patch

Alright here is my problem. Ok I have been on the patch since may 2004. My period in june was 4 days long, my period in july was 4 days long, my period is august was 4 days long. So I can say my periods last 4 days lol. Well for some reason my period in september wasnt only 10 days long but started during my 3rd patch week! It's not supposed to start until my 4th week when I take the patch off. So my period started 1 week early. Well anyways I have a 28 day cycle since ive been on the patch which means I would start my period sometime this week. But I have my 3rd patch on this week (i havent started bleeding). Do u think my period will go back to normal? U think I could be pregnant? Please someone write back thanks!

I highly doubt you're pregnant, so don't even bother worrying. Smile

it's probably just a random spurt of hormone that caused your period to start early. Maybe you were stressed and it caused it or a change in diet. Anything could have caused it. Since you did so well the first few months I don't think it's anything big.
