Today (Thursday) I peeled off the contraceptive patch Evra. On Monday I should peel it off and not stick another one because I should get my period. Should I apply a new patch today for these 4 days until Monday? Can I postpone the menstrual cycle?

According to the information contained in the summary of product characteristics, both options are correct. You can stick another patch from the new package (if it has not been more than 48 hours since the old patch was peeled off) and remove it on the right day according to the previous procedure. The second option is to end the cycle earlier and change the "patch change day" (in this case, remember that the interval between cycles cannot be longer than 7 days). I enclose an excerpt from the leaflet: "If a woman wishes to postpone the "Change of Patch Day", you should end the current cycle by removing the third EVRA patch on the right day. In the week when the patch is not used, you can choose a new "Change Day" by sticking the first EVRA patch of the next cycle on the day of your choice. In no case should the interval between application of the patches exceed 7 consecutive days. The shorter the break, the greater the risk that a woman will not experience withdrawal bleeding, and intermenstrual bleeding and spotting may occur in the next cycle of using the contraceptive patch.
