What is it like? My period is due in 4 days and I started light bleeding that is like implantation bleeding yesterday and I was wondering did this happen to anyone else who is in there first month of the patch or is this really implantation bleeding for me.

It's called "spotting" and it's very common when starting any new hormonal birth control.
