A member asked:

What can i do if i had unprotected sex and the contraceptive patch was slightly loose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Change patch: make sure the patch is well applied for the future. Do a home pregnancy test in a few weeks for further reassurance. Your odds of getting pregnant are still low as the hormones in the system may confer protection.
