Carry on as normal. you want to go by the calendar now no matter what your body is doing. You want to put the patch on the day you are supposed to and take it off the day you are supposed to. This is the only way to get yourself regular and to prevent ovulation. Breakthrough bleeding may occur. Since you have had breakthrough bleeding, you may or may not bleed much during your patch free days. Dont worry if you dont as long as you stick perfectly to your regimen to be protected.
