No, that is a weekly Birth Control and will not work as an EC.
The birth control patch is a combined hormonal contraceptive method, like the pill. With the patch, you put a new one on weekly for three weeks, and take the fourth week off.
There is no special regimen for "leveling off" the hormones in your body. If your periods were regular before you started the patch, you will likely ovulate two to four weeks after stopping the patch, and then will have your period four to six weeks after stopping.
Unless the condom is made of stress, no. You must use a contraceptive such as a condom, or a birth control pill, patch, shot etc. The withdrawal method is by far not the most recommended use of birth control either.
Yes, the birth control patch is a hormonal method
All hormonal birth control methods change a woman's hormone levels. These include the combination pill, progestin only pill, contraceptive ring, contraceptive patch, Mirena IUD, contraceptive injection, and contraceptive implant. Non-hormonal methods that do not change a woman's hormone level include Paragard copper IUD, condoms, fertility awareness methods, and spermicide.
In the US, the birth control pill, patch, ring, IUD, injection, diaphragm, and cervical cap require a prescription. Femcap, male and female condoms, the sponge, and contraceptive jelly do not require a prescription.
