I've been using the birth control patch
for about a year now. I'm in college and
didn't have a chance to reorder the
patches from home and ran out. I was
susposed to put it on on friday but didn't
get them until tuesday. I put it on that
night but on friday it fell off again. I
put a new one on since that was my normal
patch change day and left it on till the
next friday and then put the third one on.
My boyfriend and I used condoms until the
third week because it said in the
directions to use backup for one week.
I'm a day or so late for my period and I
was wonder if it was because I messed up
the patches for the month or if I could be
pregnat.

It's more likely because you messed up the
patches.. Since you didn't have the
continuous hormones, especially since you
were on it a whole week before you stopped
using the condoms.
