Hello, I have a question about the contraceptive patch. If the day of changing the patch falls on Wednesdays and the patch no. 2 applied on Wednesday came off on Monday (yesterday), I applied a new patch no. 3. And now I don't know if I leave it until next Monday and take a one-week break and then the day of changing the patch changes to Mondays?

The plaster you pasted on Monday should be peeled off after 2 days - on Wednesday, so that the "Patch Change Day" remains unchanged. On Wednesday a new patch (like 3 patches) from the spare package should be applied and should remain on the skin until the following Wednesday - so that the cycle of wearing the patches lasts 3 weeks. Then take a 7-day break for bleeding and then start a new pack.
In this case, the protection is maintained and there is no need to use an additional method of contraception in the form of a condom.
Here you can check the availability of Evra patches in pharmacies and make a reservation:
