Can I start birth control patch a day or two late?

I just finished my last birth control pill pack. & im currently on my period now (placebo week). I would like to switch my BC to the patch. My only option is to start the patch on this Sunday after my period..But I am currently out of town & can’t pick up any prescription until Monday or Tuesday.. is it okay to start a little late? Or would I have to wait til my next cycle to start?
