What should I do about an extra brown period on birth control patch?

Home More advice Health

I put on my new patch a day late and I started my second period this month. It is brown and I feel a lot more cramps than normal. I've done this before and I bleed for a month... Really would like to avoid that. Should I take the patch off now and act like its my normal period and start a new cycle new week? Or should I keep the patch on and hope for the best? Has anyone else had this issue and how did you correct it?
