Hello, I have a question about the period when using contraceptive pilasters, Evra uses them from up to a month and I skipped the seven-day break, so immediately after the third week I put on the fourth patch. And yesterday I got my period despite wearing the band-aid. Is this normal?

Yes, this can happen for two reasons:
1. Using hormonal contraception without a break for bleeding may promote the occurrence of mid-cycle bleeding or spotting.
2. For the first 3-4 months of using hormonal contraception, transient cycle disorders may occur, which usually manifest themselves in irregular bleeding. Usually, the problem goes away on its own. Otherwise, it is advisable to consult a gynecologist.
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:
