Would Going From Patch 2 the Pil Cause My G/f to Skip Period Posted: 12-07-04 18:49pm
Hey guys, im new here. I just have a
question. My girlfriend has been on the
patch for about 4 or 5 months or so and
has now switch to the pill because she
would expeirence breakthrough bleading.
She did not give any break time in between
the patch and the pill, she went right to
the pill, im not sure what week of the
patch she was on when she went to the
pill, she could have been at the end of
the cycle or she might not have been.
Well since she started taking the pill she
hasnt gotten her period. She finished
the 3 weeks of it, took nothing for the
week she is supposed to have her period
and now jsut started taking her second
case of pills for the second month. And
she hasn't gotten her period yet, we
havent had sex in about 4-5 weeks and the
time that we did have sex I used a condom
and she was still on the patch, and the
condom did not break, and everytime we did
ever have sex, we used a condom as well
with the patch. Im just one of those guys
like most who freak out to make sure their
girlfriend is not pregnant. So is this
normal?? Please help. Thanks alot.

She may want to call a doc, but I imagine
that the switch screwed up her hormones
and it may take a few months for her
period to get regular again. However,
i'm not sure about the switch, so it may
be possible that when she switched to the
pill it may still take awhile to be fully
working and if you didn't use extra
protection for a couple weeks, she may
have gotten preg. I doubt this though,
but she should call her doc to double
check the effects.

Yeah I knew that when she switches to the
pill it might take a few weeks before the
pill would take effect, so we have not had
sex since she has been on the pill. The
last time we had sex was about 4-5 weeks
ago, and she was still on the patch.

Then I would say it's prob. Just her
hormones all confuzzled form the switch.
If she goes 2 weeks late though, have her
get tested for preg. Good luck
