First month on the Xulane patch... is this normal?

Scarlett

I started the birth control patch on the first day of my period toward the beginning of the month. Next week is my week to take it off for the week and I’m experiencing some more extreme side effects. I’m bleeding pretty readily. Like not heavy day period flow, but like light period flow constantly for about a week now. This with some pretty interesting mood swings, I’m kind of starting to get worried. Is this normal? Has anyone else noticed this?
