Hormone patch: Here is a general information sheet about the patch and potential side effects: http://youngwomenshealth.org/2013/01/16/hormone-patch/ Sometimes periods can be different after a termination but important to check with doctor/gynaecologist whether you have anything more serious such as infection or retained products. See licensed practitioner in your area for consultation as may need tests done.

Probably: You don't say in your question whether you stopped the patch at the end of a cycle or just randomly stopped using it. In any case, this change alters your body's hormonal balance and may lead to unexpected bleeding and cramping. Things should normalize and move towards a regular period in a couple of cycles. Consult your doctor if further questions. Stay well:)
