No, the day of changing the patch does not change (it is a continuation of the week you started). Further use of Evra follows the existing procedure.
If there was intercourse just before the whole situation (without additional protection), then theoretically there could be a risk of pregnancy.
Well. If a new patch is applied (it will be a new package, 4 patches in a row), does the day of changing the patch change change or will it be a continuation of this 3rd week? Does this situation affect my contraception before putting on this 3rd patch?

The patch should be applied as soon as possible. In this situation, a few hours of difference probably won't change much, because it should be assumed that the contraceptive effect may be disturbed anyway. Interrupted intercourse is not the best protection against unwanted pregnancy and it is difficult to assess the real risk of conception (in my opinion - it is rather small). In this situation, it is important to remember to use an additional method of contraception.
At the moment I don't have the possibility to put on a new plaster, if I do it tomorrow, will something happen? The last intercourse without additional protection was 5 days ago, but it was interrupted intercourse

The patch is not applied properly - it does not adhere evenly to the skin, it sticks out both at the edges and in the central part. In this situation, the contraceptive effectiveness of the preparation may be reduced. The system should be replaced with a new one, which should be applied to cleansed and dried skin (preferably in a different place). Due to the difficulty in precisely determining the time during which the release of the substance may have been disturbed, it is advisable to use additional protection during intercourse for the next 7 days.
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:
