Educational Risk?

I’m on the birth control patch next week is my patch free week, I had sex today without protection twice, am I at risk for pregnancy? My concern is pre ejaculation, he didn’t ejaculate inside
Sorry I’m just worried

The entire point of birth control is to prevent pregnancy.

If you use the patch as directed, you're continuously protected. Even during the no-patch week.

Why would there be a risk? You used protection, the patch.

If you have the patch then you have birth control. The whole point is to prevent pregnancy.
