For @Rokaa: The situation should adjust in the next 2-3 cycles of application of the patches. The lack of bleeding in this case does not mean pregnancy - bleeding most likely did not occur, because the body is just adapting to the supply of hormones.
I used the correct 1 patch I glued during the period and I had a period for 3 weeks I used normally I took a week break immediately the period disappeared and I glued the next patch or 4 but I did not have a period

If you have used the patches correctly, the risk of pregnancy is negligible. I would like to mention that during the use of contraceptive patches, physiological menstruation does not occur. The first patch should be applied on the day of menstruation, the next according to the scheme 1 patch every 7 days, 7 days break, then a new package. During the 7-day break, there is an artificially caused withdrawal bleeding - it is associated with a decrease in the level of hormones in the blood. Nevertheless, the use of patches causes, m.in, inhibition of ovulation, which is why you are protected even during a 7-day break without the patch. If you use the patches correctly, the protection is maintained - even if bleeding or spotting is observed while wearing the patches. Bleeding and mid-cycle spotting is a typical symptom that occurs during the first 2-3 months of using the patches. After this time, the situation should stabilize and you will notice a certain regularity. Bleeding usually occurs 2-3 days after peeling off 3 patches from a given package.
