Contraceptive patch - do I need to test?

Hi all,

I've recently changed from the implant (which made me bleed non-stop to the patch) which has been great! I used to take the pill and was so simple, I would get my withdrawal bleed right on time every time (except for when I fell pregnant). I was told the patch was the same concept at the pill. So I've done the 3 weeks wearing the patch, we have had sex a few times in those 3 weeks. I removed the patch Tuesday evening but still no withdrawal bleed yet. If I haven't come on tomorrow, would it be wise to test? Or is it one of "those things" with the patch?

It wouldn't be the end of the world if I was pregnant but I've never had any experience in being "late" (except during my pregnancy) as my body as pretty much always ran like clockwork. Thanks for any advice x

Up until recently I was a patch user. I would remove patch on a Sunday and AF would come 5/6 days later. I'd wait a few days and then if nothing test.
