Is There Any Chance Of Pregnancy After Having Contraceptive Patches?
Hi, I got the contraceptive patches a few days ago, but I didn't wait til my next period begins to apply it on my skin as advised, instead I applied it on Feb 18th, then I had unprotected sexual intercourse with my bf yesterday Feb 19th, would the patch still work? What is the chance of me getting pregnant? Today is Feb 20th, and my period began on Feb 1st, usually my menstrual cycle is 29-30 days.

Hi there, I have understood your concern . I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
Please do not worry.
Please wait for the expected date of cycle.
If you happen to cross your dates, or if you don't get your periods 15 to 20 days after the unprotected sex act , then please get morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy. In case of doubt blood beta HCG test and USG will be of help.
I hope this answer helps you. . Thanks.
