Normally I change my patch every friday at
3:30 pm. My third patch, I forgot to
take off and took it off saturday morning
instead. Then I had my patch-free week,
and forgot to put the new one on on friday
at 3:30. I remembered and put it on
saturday morning. Can I have sex?

If you read the leaflet it will give you

no backup contraception is needed
under no circumstances should there be
more than a 7-day, patch-free interval
between cycles. The risk of ovulation
increases with each day after the
recommended "patch-free" week. If there
are more than 7 patch-free days, you may
not be protected from pregnancy and backup
contraception, such as condoms,
spermicide, or a diaphragm, must be used
for 1 week
