I have been on ortho evra - the patch for about 7yrs and never had any problems. This past month i decided to not allow my period to come, therefore on my patch free week i put on another patch. So i started a new patch month, ive done this several times and never had any problems. However, this time around I started spotting this past friday while still on my 3rd patch. Period should not start until I remove my 3rd patch and that was this morning and not until this Wednesday. What could be the problem??? Could I be pregnant? I'm freaking out! I'm 35yrs old and married, no kids yet. Thanks!

I meant my period should start around 3 days after I remove the 3rd patch, which I removed this morning. This means I should start my period on Wednesday. So the spotting is much too early.
