A member asked:
Can my periods become irregular due to perimenopause even if i am on the bc patch? i am 43 years old & just had period a week early & lasted 12 days

Yes: If your body is changing with natural aging, and your hormones are fluctuating, and at times you may not be ovulating, then your period can certainly be affected despite the patch you are on.
