Question

Who has stopped a birth control patch mid-cycle and conceived?

I had a "mishap" with my patch in August. I went a day without it when I was supposed to put on my second patch. I started to feel sick and took a pregnancy test...it ended up being a chemical pregnancy. After that ordeal, my husband and I decided to start trying. I am now 20 days bc free. Cycle seems normal so far. I had my period at the regular time. I had ovulation symptoms on CD 10-14. I'm feeling hopeful! Still too soon to get a positive result. It's a possibility I did not ovulate at all and may need more time to become pregnant. I did not take any OPKs. Anyone had a similar situation?

Hi this is exactly what happened to me! Was on the patch... forgot to put it back on then tested 2 weeks later... had 3 faint positives followed by negatives then had period so I assumed I had a chemical pregnancy. That was 4 months ago and I never went back into patch as we decided to try. Xx
