I've been using evra patches since January 2025, on Wednesday I changed the patch to 2 from the package and on Saturday I got a very light period and it continues, although now it's more staining. Previously, there were no spotting during the period of using the patches. The patch did not peel off and adhered without any damage, should I be worried?

If you are not taking other medications that could weaken the effectiveness of the patch, there is no reason to worry. Protection is provided despite the occurrence of bleeding/spotting.
The reason for spotting may be, for example, stress or weakness of the body during an infection.
If spotting also occurs in 2-3 consecutive cycles, then it is worth consulting a gynecologist. You may need to change your contraceptive. Nevertheless, as I mentioned, if you are not taking other medications (or supplements) that could affect the effectiveness of the patches, there is no reason to worry at the moment.
The next patch should be applied on Wednesday, and after a week take a break as usual, then move on to the next package.
