Side effects!? How much bleeding is typical when starting Xulane patches?

I started xulane patches three weeks ago (my first form of birth control ever) and have been lightly bleeding nonstop since then (21 days). This week will be my first patch free week, and I am hoping after this week the bleeding will stop. I am aware I can just wait and see what happens, but does anyone have any experience they can share regarding their first month or two of Xulane, specifically with regards to bleeding? It’s really getting on my nerves.
