What if I change 3 Evra patch on Tuesday instead of Saturday?
Good morning, please hint: I have been using Evra patches for some time: on Saturday I had a day of changing the patch - unfortunately I did it only on Tuesday. This is the last (3) patch from the package. What should I do? Should I remove the patch on Saturday, wait a week and start a new pack the following Saturday (10.06) or should I do it differently? Thank you in advance for your reply. Best regards

Your question shows that the delay in changing the patch fell on "Week Three", i.e. the 15th day of the cycle, while the delay in your case was more than 48 hours (two days). Therefore, according to the manufacturer's recommendations, the current contraceptive cycle should be interrupted and a new four-week cycle should be started. The new patch applied on Tuesday should be treated as if it was the first patch in a given cycle and for the next 2 weeks apply more patches at the same time on Tuesday. Tuesday will now be a new day for you to change the patch. In addition, for the first 7 days of the new cycle, a non-hormonal method of contraception should be used at the same time.
