another patch falling off - what do you do?

So it must be my general sweatiness causing a particular issue this week! what do you do when your patch falls of and its the last oestrogen- progesterone one of the cycle? My patch change days are Saturday and Wednesday. I should have been putting my last oest-progesterone patch on tomorrow to last until Saturday, and then starting a new cycle (so going on to oestrogen only for 2 weeks). But a patch fell off last night, so I put my final one on (2 days early) and it has just come off again after 12 hours. Do I just launch into the next cycle and skip last few days of progesterone? or do i nick a progesterone one out of a different box which means I will run short at some point. This keeps happening and so it feels like I am under dosing on progesterone which I assume isn't good. I do still have periods though and currently bleeding - so maybe it doesn't matter? any advice?

Not sure about oestrogen patches but I wear morphine patches and they do sometimes come off due to the heat, I just contact my GP for an extra prescription
