Hi i have been using patches on and off for the past 5 weeks and i am 3 weeks late on my periods i have taken 5 pregnancy tests and they have all come up negative... i dont know if this could be a cause of delay but i am never late even when i did quite prior to now.. please help
In my opinion, the patches are most probably the cause for your delay in periods. Some of the most common causes for a menstrual delay are stress, medications, birth control pills, sudden weight gain or weight loss, infections, systemic conditions, etc.
As mentioned above, the patches can easily be the culprit, but I would either way suggest a review by a doctor to rule out other causes for the delay.
Best wishes.
