A member asked:

If i had unprotected sex the day before my "patch free" week.. could i still get my period? well, i had unprotected sex the day before my "patch free" week and i'm scared that i'll miss my period.. so i need to know.

If : If you used the patch as directed you should be protected, and your period should come as usual. However, you should know that the patch is about 97% effective, so there is always a very small chance of pregnancy. If you miss your next cycle, take a pregnancy test. Good luck.
