Stress can definitely cause wonky bleeding. The one time I had spotting on the Patch was when I was violently ill with a flu and my body was majorly stressed. Go ahead and use your Patch for the rest of the week and then remove it (so your pregnancy protection remains the same), and keep to your old Patch schedule even with the bleeding. It's possible that this month was just an overload of stress on your body and next month you will return to normal. If it happens a few months in a row though, your body is probably just done with using the Patch.
