hmm not sure why it isn't normal already to begin with.. when i got off the patch i started pill a month later so i dont know.

Yeah, a big problem.....I got pregnant!!! I was off the patch for a little over a month, because I couldn't afford that specific kind anymore. I got on medicaid and went to the doctor to get back on some form of birth control, the same day as my daughter's 8-month check-up....and I was pregnant!!

Take a pregnnacy test. You could be pregnant. I'm just saying this because my oldest child was concieved on the patch. I know a bunch of people that got pregnant on the patch. Better to be safe than sorry. Mine didn't go back to normal for 7 months. I was still on the patch for 3 months of my pregnancy because I didn't know I was pregnant. I don't know though

any time you use hormonal birth control your body must then adjust back to normal - during that adjustment phase (often several months) your cycle may be erractic (longer or shoter than expecteD) and your periods different than your pre-pill norm (ie heavier, lighter, longer, shorter)
