My patch change day is always mondays at 3:00. I put mine on today thinking it was monday at like 2:50 thinking I was safe..I know it can't hurt to have it on 24 hours early but does this mean I have to make my change day sunday afternoons now? I joined this forum to get a quick answer because everywhere else is closed!!!

YES, you now have to make your change day early.

To keep pregnancy prevention you cannot extend your patch free week more than 7 days...

IF you put a new patch on sunday, you must also continue with the 'sunday' theme.
