Yes it can. Discontinuing the patch will likely change your regular cycle, usually by delaying the onset of menses right after going off it. What appears to be a "missed" period is likely a long-delayed one. Yes it definitely can. You can have irregular periods for 3 months AFTER stopping the patch.
If you put your patch on a week late, your period could be late or missing that month, either because of the misuse or due to pregnancy from using the patch incorrectly. Take a pregnancy test if your period is late.
If you put the patch on before your period is due, you may stop your period or you may have irregular bleeding. Remember that you won't be protected against pregnancy until you've used the patch correctly for seven days.

Yes, if you start the patch late, your period is likely to be later than you expected. Be sure to take a pregnancy test if you had sex without a condom during that two week delay or the week after.
Yes, but so can pregnancy.
Being late for your period doesn't always signal pregnancy, it could be stressed induced etc. The instructions for the patch state you will get your period anytime during the week off.. so it may just be late in coming. The instructions state that if you miss your period, but haven't had any patches put on late, to go on to your next cycle of patches, but if you had some patches that were put on late, or miss a second period that you should contact your doctor to be tested for pregnancy! ~pawsalmighty you can always take a test and see if you are or not. If you test positive: go to the dr.
There are a few reasons why a person may have a period that is 9 days late. The person may be pregnant or it could be stress related.

You can't get pregnant from switching brands of birth control patch as long as you have a patch on during the appropriate days, and aren't late in putting on the new patch. If you go more than seven days without a patch, you may be at risk for pregnancy.
It is too late to start an entirely new one, but if you have known the person for a reasonable period of time, then you have a chance.
If you changed the patch as scheduled, you are at no additional risk for pregnancy. If you changed the patch late, you may be at risk.
You just need to put the patch on on the designated day, not the designated hour. If you're a day late, use a backup method.
