Pregnancy test: The Xulane patch is replaced weekly for 3 weeks (21 total days). The fourth week is drug free. If you have been taking it correctly, you should have a period during the free week. If you didn't, you need a pregnancy test. Some women will stop having periods on the patch but you can't assume this. Best wishes!
