Q: the Patch And Cramps?

My patch actually came off accidentally on the third week--two days before I was supposed to take it off and have my period. I followed the instructions and applied a brand new four week system. I'm now on my seventh week (and a day away from patch removal) and i've been experiencing some cramps and tenderness. I'm pretty worried. Do you think I could be pregnant?

Sounds like there would have been no reason for you to be unprotected.. It's probably just the accumulation of the hormones.
