3 months in and still experiencing persistent mild, period like cramping. Patch leaves a bumpy area of skin when removed, very obvious that it had been there even days after removal

I’ve been on the patch for around 6 months, it’s causing periods every 2 weeks even though I’m using it correctly. The only positive is it’s easy to use and hasn’t caused weight gain.
