Hi I just started the patch june 25, 2005 (the same day my period started). Ok july 2, 2005 I put on the second patch. I have unprotected sex that same day july 2, 2005. But i'm scared beacause I don't if i'm pregnant or not. I won't get my period until the next 3 weeks . I think but in the box it said if u start the patch within the first 24hours of your period u don't need a back. Please help me i'm scared and don't know what to do.

Well, I don't know much about the patch, but I thought with any kind of birth control for the first 1-3 months you should use a back-up method. But like I said, I dont know about the patch, so you might be ok if the packet says you should be. Your best way to find out would be either calling your doctor and asking, or waiting for 3 weeks to see if your period comes. Sorry... Wish I could be more help.
