What to do if the Evra patch has been worn for too long?
Good morning. I have been using evra patches for a very long time. But I don't know why there was a mistake. The first patch I applied on May 30, another june 6, another june 13. On June 20, I should remove the patch and wait for the month. But I didn't. I peeled off the patch only a week later, i.e. 27. In the meantime, there was spotting and some blood. Today is June 29th. When should I apply a new patch?

At the end of the cycle ("Week Four"/"Day 22"): If you have not removed the EVRA patch at the beginning of the "Fourth Week" of the cycle (Day 22), it should be removed as soon as possible. The next cycle should begin on the usual "Patch Change Day", which is the next day after Day 28. It is not necessary to use an additional method of contraception. In this case, you should apply the patch on 27.06, but this did not happen. Therefore, the option is to proceed as in the case of changing the "Patch Change Day". The new patch should be put on as soon as possible, e.g. today 30.06 - it will be a new "Patch Change Day". Due to the fact that the time from the previous patch to now is longer than 7 days, additional contraceptive protection should be used when using the new packaging, e.g. a condom. If intercourse has occurred since 20.06, possible fertilization should be excluded by performing a pregnancy test.
