Contraceptive patch question

[Charliemayly753]

Hi!

I have some doubts about the patch.
First, how fast does it take for the side effects to kick in? Because the moment I put it on, I started to feel really bad, like headache and vomits, so the second day I took it off and surprisingly I started feeling excelente a few hours later. I talked with my gynecologist about it the next day, and she said it was very unlikely.

Secondly, is it normal to have a flow two times after removing the patch? I put it on the moment I started my period, and I know It's kind of a silly question this one because it says in the package, however, those it counts like a real period or spotting? Can I say it's spotting even though I have a lot of bleeding like a normal period? Where should I start counting the beginning of my cycle?
