Yes, it is normal to bleed in the first month of using the contraceptive patch. The symptoms you are experiencing are most likely related to the switch of the hormonal axis to the contraceptive pill and are typical symptoms occurring in the first month of use (possibly less severe also in the second cycle) and should disappear spontaneously with the next pack. If you continue to experience similar or more severe symptoms in the next cycle, please contact your gynaecologist.
