In the event that withdrawal bleeding has occurred, there is no need for a pregnancy test. However, due to incorrect application of the patch, it is recommended to use an additional contraceptive method until the end of this cycle. Only from the next pack of Evra will you be protected against possible pregnancy.
When it comes to pregnancy, I'm not pregnant because I got my period.

If you have used the 3rd patch for a week too long, you should apply a new patch exactly after 28 days of using contraception in a given cycle. So you should not make any break between packages. At the time of proceeding in the manner described above, the continuity of contraceptive protection is ensured. From your entries (including those in the next post: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/64944/evra-czy-jesli-spoznilam-sie-jeden-dzien-ze-zmiana-plastra-antykoncepcyjnego-dzien-zmiany-plastra) I conclude that you used the 3rd patch for 2 weeks, and then you took a week break. This means that there is a risk of pregnancy. If you have had sex during the last week, without additional protection, I encourage you to take a pregnancy test. The new patch should be glued as soon as possible. If you select today, Day 1 (to Tuesday) and the same Day of patch change (also for Tuesday) will change. An additional contraceptive method should be used until the end of the current packaging: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/28646/evra-system-transdermalny/apteki In order to exclude a possible pregnancy, you can perform one of the pregnancy tests available in online and stationary pharmacies. Choosing an online pharmacy makes it possible to compare prices, as well as order a test with home delivery or personal collection at a pharmacy. The pregnancy test should be done at least 10-14 days after the last unprotected intercourse. In pharmacies there are available, for example: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/97388/domowe-laboratorium-pink-test-ciazowy-strumieniowy-super-czuly-test/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/12685/bobo-test-test-ciazowy-strumieniowy-test/apteki I encourage you to read additional materials that may be useful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/test-ciazowy-jaki-wybrac-i-kiedy-zrobic https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-prawidlowo-stosowac-antykoncepcje
I really don't know what to do. Is this continuity still maintained? Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you in advance
Should I now glue the patch from the new packaging as I have always done so far. Please reply
From the third package. And I don't know what to do next.

Which patch did you wear a week longer?
