Breakthrough bleed: hormonal variations and fluctuations can cause breakthrough bleeding. Additionally virgorous sexual activity can stimulate your hormone levles and ceertainly suddently stopping the patch can also cause this. Please keep a menstrual diary and consult your GYN: BC only works if used properly.

Correct use?: Hi, I'm not sure you are using the patch correctly. One patch should be used for a week for 3 consecutive weeks and then no patch for 4th week when bleeding would start. Depending on time in the cycle, removing a patch will cause bleeding in varying amounts. Also, the patch, just like the pill suppresses ovulation. Therefore, not sure what you are referring to as the day of ovulation. Pls check.
