No, it will be fine.  I'm sure there's a bit of lee-way anyway, the worst that would happen is that your oestrogen levels dropped a little, but if it's just a few hours' late, I doubt it.

You're lucky that your patches stayed on that long - I had to change to gel as they kept coming unstuck. :)

Would have thought you'll be ok.
With the twice weekly patches it's either 3 or 4 days between changes.

I'm sure we all forget here or there, or find the patch has come unstuck.

Hi Ladies

My patches stay on really well.
I was about 18hours late in changing the patch.
I didn't notice any flushes in between.

I lose track of the days and quite often forget......oops....

I'm sure you'll be fine. When I had to come off them for a while it took about 2.5 weeks before the flushes returned.

As your patch is changed twice a week.....one after three days and one after four it will make no difference. Patches are designed to last four days and will probably last a good bit longer.

I can leave mine off for a good few days and notice no difference at all.

You'll be fine. I forgot to change mine last week when I was away.
