I was on the Ortho Evra patch back before Tyler and loved the convenience of it. If you need anymore help feel free to PM me

I was just curious about skipping a period but wasn't sure if I should ask about it here lol (as in a want to skip it not I have skipped it lol)

[Sirrahsim]

I did that several times so that my period wouldn't interfere with special events and things. As long as you don't make a habit of it it doesn't hurt a thing. It is possible to have a little bit of breakthrough bleeding though so if you do decide to skip make sure that you have pads/tampons on hand just in case

Well I wasn't sure how it worked seeing as I missed putting it on last month..I was suppose to start today or tomorrow so I put it on last night hoping it would skip...I'm not sure if it's too late now or what. What happens if I start should I just take the patch off?

[Sirrahsim]

nah, it doesn't hurt to have it while wearing the patch. Using the patch to skip will only work if you wear it straight through though. For example, change each week for a month as usual and then when it is time for your week off just keep going with the weekly patches for the next month. Just starting the patch the week before you get your period won't make your period go away though.

I hope I'm making sense... didn't get much sleep last night

Look, if you want to skip a period, I have a pretty fool proof way of doing it for 9 months. PM me for details.
