Ortho evra - HELP!!!

I have been on ortho evra - the patch for about 7yrs and never had any problems. This past i decided to not allow my period to come, therefore on my patch free week i put on another patch. So i started a new patch month, ive done this several tomes and never had any problems. However, this time around I started spotting on my 3rd week/3rd patch. Period should not start until I remove my 3rd patch and not until about 3 days after that, which would not be until next week on Wednesday. What could be the problem??? Should I remove this patch to see if it is my period, or could I be pregnant? I'm freaking out! I'm 35yrs old and married, no kids yet. Thanks!
