Hello, as a mistake after the 2nd Evra patch I didn't apply 3 (I was convinced that it was the last one ) and in the coming week I will have my period ..... I applied the plater on the 7th day after I realized what effect it had on the protection against getting pregnant ??? Should I now use the patches as normal as I always do for three consecutive weeks?

The currently applied patch starts another, 4-week cycle of using Evra (i.e. it is 1 patch). The day you applied the "overlooked" patch will now be the "patch change day". Contraceptive efficacy is not maintained, additional methods of protection (condom) should be used for the next 7 days. If you have had intercourse within the last few days, pregnancy should be ruled out.
In case of any doubts, I encourage you to use the teleconsultation with a gynaecologist - the service is available on our website in the e-visit tab:
