I use Evra patches. I wore it recently on Saturday as the 3rd patch (6th day) peeled off a lot of me, not on the sides and only downloaded it the next day as it should be written in the leaflet (7 days - last day download). I had intercourse with my boyfriend and he ended up in me. Should I be afraid of pregnancies?

According to the Summary of Product Characteristics, detachment of the Evra patch for more than 24 hours may result in a decrease in contraceptive protection. Therefore, in the event that during the period when the patch was not glued to the skin, unprotected sexual intercourse occurred, there is a risk of getting pregnant. As contraceptive protection may not be sufficient in the near future, it would be recommended to start a new pack of Evra patches and use an additional contraceptive method for the next 7 days. In a situation where you suspect that you are pregnant, it would be recommended to take a pregnancy test, the types of which can be read at the following link: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/test-ciazowy
