Psychologically, you need to decide whether or not you can handle pregnancy. Natural birth control doesn't work, because you can get pregnant at ALL times of the month. If you use "artificial" birth control, you need to use it properly to be protected.
Using a backup method on the birth control patch provides additional protection from pregnancy. Since the patch does not work perfectly, a second method can be helpful. In addition, the patch doesn't prevent infection, so backing up your patch with condoms provides the additional benefit of STD protection.
It doesn't work... there's an old joke about what you call people who practice the rhythm method, "Mommy and daddy". But if you insist: Find out when the woman ovulates, then only be intimate when you're more than a week away, either before or afterward. But it's almost guaranteed to make you parents. I heard that joke about withdrawal. The rhythm method does work but you have to be very controlled.

No, that is a weekly birth control and will not work as an EC.
