Good morning, just to be sure, I'll ask. If I put on the 3rd Evra patch a day later than usual (Thursday instead of Wednesday), when do I take it off? And I take a week break or a 6-day break and start a new pack on Wednesday?
On Wednesday I had intercourse, what is the risk of getting pregnant?.. I've always been so careful about it, a lot of stress, a cold and now I'm on high heels...

If no more than 48 hours have passed since the standard time of EVRA change and the patch has been used correctly within 7 days before, there is no risk of pregnancy. The patch should be peeled off on a standard day and you can take a normal 7-day break. There is no need to use an additional method of contraception and previous intercourse is properly protected.
I'm attaching a link that allows you to check the availability of the patches and make a reservation at the pharmacy of your choice:
