Evra contraceptive patch - what to do?
I've been using EVRA patches for about 2 years, on Sunday I should peel off the 2nd patch and stick 3, the 2nd patch fell off on Saturday and I put on a new one only on Monday, in addition, on Tuesday I got my period... Should I take off the 3rd patch or wait until Sunday? Only next week should I be without the patch and I should have my periods. I would like to add that I had sex and everything happened during the holidays (climate change, a lot of effort), is there a chance that I am pregnant? Did the body just react that way?

The procedure and the likelihood of pregnancy in this situation depends on how long the interval was between the removal of the old patch and the application of the new patch.
If the interval was not longer than 48 hours, protection against pregnancy is preserved.
If the interval has been extended for more than 48 hours, the current cycle should be discontinued and a new four-week cycle should be started immediately with a new EVRA patch. So there is a new "Day 1" and a "Patch Change Day". For the first 7 days of your new cycle, you should use a non-hormonal method of contraception at the same time.
