I’ve been on the contraceptive patch for a few years. In nov I started getting mid-month bleeding and then normal period on the “off” week.

In Feb I had spotting 1st/2nd/3rd of the month, then took the patch off on 14th for the week off and haven’t put it back on again.

It’s now 7 weeks since then “off” week period and 5 weeks since the spotting. Sex is every 2-3 days.

I tested negatively yesterday, but still don’t have a period. Any advice?

@caulkheaded I've also just started getting mid month bleeding! Never had it before, what is your bleed like? Mines literally like two days of red spotting I get it at the same time as a positive ovulation test.

Are you currently ttc? I would test weekly until period?

Yeah ttc, but only began mid Feb.

It’s so odd - some mid-months are like a full period and others are just a couple of days of light spotting!!

@caulkheaded it's so strange isn't it! I've never had it before just started recently! Do you test for ovulation? c

No, we agreed to give it six months then begin testing for ovulation if needed. I have an app where I track stuff so that gave me an idea (I think?!)

@caulkheaded tbh it's probably easier to not track! It's all consuming! If you have regular cycles those apps are great!
