Hello, When you say you kept your patch, did you change it after 7 days? Its effectiveness decreases rapidly after 7 days. Is the bleeding decreasing? Do you have any other symptoms, even if they don't seem related? Normally, this would have stopped by now. It may be something unrelated to your medication, it would be safer to seek the advice of an 811 nurse specialist It is also possible to make a phone appointment with a doctor or PHI on the site: https://www.rvsq.gouv.qc.ca/fr/accueil I'm sorry I can't help you more tonight.
