Not using a new patch as directed is the same as skipping pills, it depends how late you are but could leave you open to pregnancy. Use a back up (condoms, sponge etc) until you have a new patch on for 7 days.
You should be. I've found the patch is much more forgiving than the pill is.
Nothing other than you have a new patch change date.
If she applied the patch when she first got her period then no other contraceptive is needed. If she was a Sunday start you must wait atleast 7 days before unprotected intercourse. This is what i was told by an orth evra spokesperson on the phone.
If you were late changing the patch by 24 or 48 hours, you are alright. If it was any longer than this, you are no longer protected and therefore run the risk of conceiving as would any other unprotected person.
If you start the next cycle of your Birth Control patch late, use a back up method, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, until you've worn the patch correctly for seven days.
