I take the contraceptive patch continuously and I have bleeding?
19-year-old woman
Hi, I've been taking the patch for 6 weeks and I haven't taken a break yet, for the last 2 days I feel like I'm in my week, I've got a lot of bleeding and everything, I don't know what to do, because I don't want to be menstruating for 2 weeks while waiting for my next week of break.

Hello, thank you for your question!
Your situation is absolutely normal if you have just started the continuous patch (6 weeks ago). It usually goes away on its own but there is no way of knowing how long it will last
If you have been using the patch for more than 3 weeks, you can stop it for up to 7 days if you wish.
I hope I have been helpful, I am always available if you have any further questions!
