How soon should i expect period to start? - Birth Control Message Board

I took off my patch today for my free week after taking it straight for 6 weeks (i decided to skip my period when i went on vacation), so i'm just wondering when i should expect to have it.

Also, no matter what, even if it's still going (my period), i put on a new patch the next sunday to come, right?

Thanks!

Yes, you apply the patch even if you still have your period.

Most women get their periods 2-4 days into the inactive week. However, if you're just starting the patch, you may not get your period at all.
