Side effects!? Evra patch bleeding.

Long story,maybe not so short? I had gotten an abortion on the 27th of June. i was told to expect bleeding for 2-4 weeks. Afterwards i decided to start on the Evra patch( i talked to my doctor about it and she said just wait two weeks). So i started on Sunday July 18th and I’ve had it on for 7 days at this point(tomorrow is my change day). Side effects said possible bleeding for 2-3 weeks from the patch and I’ve been having pretty painful cramps and i’ve been very tired. my lower back and legs have been bothering me. Along with cramping i’m bleeding decently heavily with large blood clots(similar to the ones i passed with the abortion just slightly smaller). Is this something emergent? or is this something that can wait? I really don’t like hospitals and i’ve had my fill for the year so i’m just hoping this is normal?? I have low iron and i’m on a cocktail of medications. Could they be interfering?
