Good morning I used 1 month patches peeled off April 12 I got menstruation on April 15 and no longer glued another patch, now I'm waiting for menstruation and it is not. I would like to add that I always secured myself with a condom. I even did a test and no pregnancy. I was at the gynecologist in January, everything was ok.

I do not really understand why you did not stick the first patch from the new packaging after a 7-day break? In order for the protection to be preserved, the first patch from the first package should be glued on the first day of natural menstruation, then change the patches every week, after 3 patches make a 7-day break, and then start a new package - regardless of bleeding. If you have not applied the first patch from the second package after a 7-day break, the protection is not preserved and the natural menstrual cycle may return only in 3-4 weeks or even longer. Now you can wait to start a new pack until menstrual bleeding appears, which may occur in 3-4 weeks, or start using the patches from the new pack today, but then the protection will not be maintained immediately - contraception will then be effective only when using the patches from the 3rd pack. If you are not sure about the rules related to the use of the patch, it may be worth consulting your gynecologist or using teleadvice: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-ginekologiem You will also find helpful information here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/plastry-antykoncepcyjne
