Has anyone gone from one type of birth control to another and had problems

I had wls surgery Jan 2007. One month before surgery I went from birth control pills to the depo shot. About three months ago I decided to switch from taking the depo shot to start using the patch (I didnt want to be on the deop shot for a long time due to bone loss). Since Ive been on the patch, Ive been having my periods every two weeks. They are heavy and really uncomfortable. I know this sounds nasty, but the output is very black and gooey. I inform my nurse about since I swtich to the patch I was having a period every two weeks and she said that was normal. She said It was just the depo working to get out of my system. Has anyone else had this problem switching birth control? I know I never had this problem with the pill and when I swtich form the pill to the depo shot, I didnt have any of these problems.
