Q: off my patch for three weeks period late

asked by: scard on July 7th, 2005

I am two days late on my period. I was off my patch for three weeks. And I am now waiting on my period to put another one on. I am so scard! Could I just be stressing too much and causing my period to be late?! I took a pregnancy test last night and it was negative. Is it still to early to tell? Please help me.

Two days is probably a little early. And stressing about it can affect your cycle. Also, you said you were on the patch 3 weeks ago and i'm assuming stopped? And now you're going back on? The changes in hormones may also be affecting your cycle.

Relax, but see a doctor if it's really bothering you.
