Breakthrough bleed: This is probably breakthrough bleeding (BTB), where the lining becomes unstable and you bleed. Do NOT stop the patch. BTB does not effect the contraceptive aspect. Continue to use it as prescribed, your period may be lighter this cycle, but hopefully you won't have the abnormal bleeding next month. If it happens frequently, you may need to switch birth control.
