Hello,

What is your age? Have you used patch for the first time? Usually with patch as the hormone absorption occurs through skin, it can cause certain hormonal disturbances which could lead to cramps and brown discharge per vaginum! If you have stomach upset along with it, then cramps could be related to that, I mean if you have diarrhea then that could be intestinal motion cramps. Wait n watch, if the cramps are severe or brown discharge is more, you can show to nearby doctor.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rishma Lakhani, OB & GYN Specialist
