Question: how long does it take to get your period after taking off the patch?
Answer: If you want to get your period: Wear a patch for 1 week (7 days), then take off that patch and put on a new one. Change your patch once a week for 3 weeks straight. On week 4, don't wear a patch at all — that's when you'll get your period. After 7 patch-free days, put on a new patch and start the cycle over.
