Hello! On Wednesday, I took off the Evra patch for a week-long break at 8 pm. A week later, on Wednesday, I put on a new patch only at 9 pm, as I overslept. I am very worried. Tell me, could an hour-long delay reduce the contraceptive effect? Also on Thursday there was an interrupted sexual intercourse (without ending inside). Is there a risk of pregnancy?

Hello with a similar question, there is not much difference with my lateness but I prefer to ask. On May 28, I took off my 3rd last patch at 6:50 p.m., starting this week from withdrawal. On June 4, exactly a week later, I applied my first patch in the new cycle at 9:00 p.m., does such a delay of 2 hours and 10 minutes in applying the first patch after a week's break cause the risk of pregnancy? Please answer because it makes me very nervous

No, a delay of one hour will not impair contraception.
Even after a week's break, an hour delay is not critical?
Even after a week's break?

A one-hour delay will not affect the effectiveness of the Evra contraceptive patches. There is no need for additional security. Contraception will work properly.

It just says that the break should not be 7 days, but I got 7 days and 1 hour. Did you need to have additional protection for a week?
