Hello ma'am and welcome.

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.
