Im on the patch and my patch change day is sunday, well last night around 5:30pm my patch fell off. I had sex about an hour and a half before this happend. I didnt put an new one on because I was supposed to change it the next morning anyways. Well this mornnig I got called into work early so I forgot to put another one on. I didnt put it on until 5:30pm. So I didnt have a patch on for 24 hours. Tonight around 7:30pm I had sex. Do u think im protected?

You will probably be okay since you put the new one on a couple of hours before you had sex. And you didn't lose it until after you had sex the first time that you mentioned.
If you have problems with the patch falling off you may want to go on the pill or on depo. But, if this happens again just use condoms for a couple of days just to be safe.
Good luck.
