Stopped the patch

Hi all! I have been on the path for maybe 8 years now. I’ve never had many issues with it. However, I decided I wanted to take a break d/t it being estrogen based and a family history of breast cancer and stroke, as I’m having some heart issues myself that are being tested. I have had sex since removing (using condoms). Usually, my period would start today but it hasn’t. (My patch removal day was Tuesdays and it was always started by Thursdays) Has anyone used the patch and stopped have a time line for when your period came? Was it around the same time or was it a little weird? Just not sure if I should be taking a test or not.
