    Could I be pregnant?
    I was on the patch for 4 months and missed 1 day of putting it on this passed month during the second week. The next week I had a heavy period which was 1 week early. After the bleeding stopped I started experiencing nausea fatigue and a few other pregnancy symptoms, but 8 days after my period ended I started spotting brown then it changed to light red, not enough for a tampon or to fill up a pad which was unusual to me and it lasted 5 days. I then started having sore breasts, headaches and again various pregnancy symptoms but I have taken 5 tests and they have all came back negative. I am pretty sure the symptoms are from discontinuing my patch after the last month which I finished but I am just confused to why my body would be doing this because I have been changed 3-4 times when I started using birth control after my son so I am not sure. Any advice?

    I also forgot to add I took a blue dye pregnancy test and a very faint gray line showed up in the test window, did not think it was a positive even though it showed up on the time limit because a few days later I got a negative result.

    Where the tests taken at the same time, both early in the morning as soon as you woke up?

    I took one of them first thing in the Morning and it was negative, but if I wouldn't have bled for those 5 days I would've started Thursday.

    Wait a few weeks and take another test. If you think you might be pregnant, call your doctor and ask for advice on discontinuing the patch until you are confident you are not pregnant. Then once you confirm that you are not pregnant, you can restart on the patch.
