Hi, not a usual post on here I know, but this is really worrying me.

I've stared using the Evra patch today. The instructions state that you can start on the first day of your period (and you will be protected straight away) or any other time (and you will need to wait 7 days until you are fully protected). I am towards the end of my cycle as my period would normally be due next week. Will I still have this? I'm guessing yes because I have already ovulated so there is an unfertilized egg inside me. If I do not have a period next week does that mean the egg will remain inside and risk me getting pregnant, even after waiting those 7 days? I'm worried that I'm just going to have this egg sitting inside me waiting to be fertilized. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks.
