When will I get my period after stopping the Evra patches?
Hello, I tried the Evra patch, it did not fit and after 5 days I removed it, my periods began again, i.e. my periods in total turned out to be 10 days. When to expect the next period? If we consider that the usual menstruation lasts 5 days, then they should have already come, but silence

The situation you describe is quite complex due to the discontinued use of the Evra patches.
Discontinuing the Evra patch after 5 days may have disrupted the natural hormonal cycle. The hormones in the patch affect the menstrual cycle, and stopping them abruptly can cause withdrawal bleeding. The bleeding that occurred after the patch was removed was not a typical menstrual period, but rather bleeding caused by a sudden drop in hormone levels.
After stopping hormonal contraception, the body needs time to return to its natural rhythm. This can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
The next period may appear at different times, not necessarily after the standard 28 days. This is because the body has to re-establish its natural hormonal cycle.
Lack of menstruation on the expected date is not unusual in this situation. However, if the delay lasts more than a few weeks, it may be worth considering taking a pregnancy test, especially if you had sex during or shortly after stopping the patch. Confirmation of the lack of pregnancy can be a pregnancy test performed about 10 days after intercourse:
If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-ginekologiem
