i've been on the birth control patch for about 3 months now...?

Question: i need to know if there is a possibility that a side effect of this birth control is making me skip a period even though i haven't missed one so far on the patch yet. i feel like i should be on my period, but nothing is happening, it was late last month, it should've started on sunday but didn't until tuesday night, and it is now wednesday when it should've started on sunday and i'm really concerned.

Answers:
Yes it can make you skip. Just the same as it can make you bleed for an abnormally long period of time. Don't forget what birth control REALLY is. It tricks your body into thinking its alreay pregnant (you can't get pregnent if you are already). So your body starts to act that way depending on how it reacts to the birth control. Results varry with different women and differnt types of BC.

You might want to go to the ORTHO EVRA website. I think that they were having some concerns about the patch. I used to be on it but stopped and am now back on the regular BCP. I miss that patch tho it was alot better than popping pills every day.
