As no contraceptive is 100% safe, it is always a good idea when in doubt to have a pregnancy test done. I suggest you have a check-up with your Gynecologist to establish the reason for your discomfort , and to confirm that your body is reacting well to the patch . It is "good practice" to follow-up after three months after the start of any contraceptive treatment .
