Is it normal for bleeding to change when using the contraceptive patch?
Withdrawal bleeding doesn't have to be always the same?
Hello, my last withdrawal bleeding began on 26.06 when the patch was glued. On the same day, I unglued it for a seven-day break, as usual. Within a couple of days, it dispersed and took the form of ordinary withdrawal bleeding. About 1.07 ended and for a couple of days it smeared brown (I always have it after withdrawal bleeding). Tell me, is this normal? Withdrawal bleeding doesn't always have to be the same?

Withdrawal bleeding may look different depending on, for example, individual conditions, accompanying circumstances (lifestyle changes, illnesses, etc.). Some patients observe reduced bleeding after many months of using contraception. Also, the color can change and this is normal. Situations that may be alarming include very intense bleeding (hemorrhage), the presence of large blood clots in the secretion, significantly prolonged spotting time, severe pain.
The patches should be changed once a week on the same day ('patch change day') for a further 3 weeks, followed by a week off.
In case of any doubts, I encourage you to use the teleconsultation - the service is available in the e-visit tab:
