I started the patch with a Sunday start day! I have been on the patch for 5 months now...well I got my period on 6/5/07 and was supposed to begin this months patch on Sunday 6/10/07 but forgot and started Tuesday 6/12/07. My second week was Tuesday 6/19 and my third week patch would be today 6/26/07. Problem is I am having break through bleeding? Is this normal from changing start days or some other reason? I have made an appointment with my OBGYN for July 2 but want some advise in advance! As my epilepsy meds could cause birth defects and I assume the patch can too!
