A member asked:

Have skyla iud. was given xulane (in addition to iud) to stop menstrual bleeding. second week on patch and i'm bleeding. thoughts? normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Follow the plan: since patches have a distinct regulation mode to get your body to behave as it should. Some irregular bleeding may occur in the beginning of the patch in the first few months. So keep the faith and follow the plan. If it doesn't work for you because of your irregularity or whatnot, you will know after 3-4 months. And if you have already waited that long, then visit your GYN or family physician
