A member asked:
I ended my birth control patch early and didn't wear it the 2nd nor 3 rd week and my peroid came on twice in one month and my cramps r irrugular?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably normal: Birth control patches contain strong hormones to suppress ovulation. Stopping them early will frequently imbalance the hormones being produced by the ovary and result in irregular bleeding, more than one period and increased cramping. This usually regulates itself within 1-2 cycles.
