Hi, my contraceptive patch fell off three separate times in the first month of use - I had a period the second week of use then the next two weeks it came off during sex once and sometime before the second time. After the last instance of falling off I bled lightly for a day and half bright orange and now I m concerned I m pregnant but unsure when is too early to test.
Hello, You are suffering from irregular vaginal bleeding, and it may be due to adverse effect of contraceptive patch or other things (uterine cause/hormonal imbalance). Do a fresh USG of lower abdomen to rule out underlying pathology if any. If anything rule out, then treat accordingly with consult of gynecologist. And if there is nothing, then choose different contraceptive patch with less adverse effect or failure rate. Use in correct method and periodic check up to your doctor if any abnormal bleeding. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, do light exercise and proper sleep. Be well.
