Switching From Patch to Pill Posted: 10-24-05 20:31pm
I've been on the patch for a while now,
but lately it's been causing me some
nausea. My first patch is the sunday
start.
So today, mon., I went to the clinic to
switch to the pills. They gave me 3
months worth of lutera.
One problem that I have, is that i'm only
on the second patch, and I seemed to have
misplaced my 3rd patch.
The clinic suggested that I take off my
patch today, and take the first pill.
They said that the week I will get my
period will be pushed back another week.
My questions are::
is that really possible? To have my
period pushed back a whole week
&
is sunday the start of my pill cycle? Or
is it monday?
Please, any help will be much appreciated.

I recently switched from the patch to the
pill in the middle of my cycle. I
started taking the pill as soon as I took
the patch off. I had a little bit of
spotting, but no other problems. You
will most likely get your next period
during the week you're taking the inactive
pills, but if your cycle is a little off,
it should adjust after your next pack of
pills. Your start day should be whenever
you take the first pill, regardless of
what your patch start day was. So if
your patch start day was sunday and you
took your first pill monday, then monday
should be your new start day. Good luck,
I hope this helps!
