i had my period on september 11th that lasted for 5 days,and it was normal. then i had another period on september 25th, but it wasnt an normal as usual. and now i just started my period again on october 7th. i've been having periods for 6 years now and this has never happened to me before,i've always been regular. and i've also been on ortho-cyclen for over a year now.could my birth control be causing it? is this normal? is there something wrong with me?

You should only be getting periods during the placebo weeks. If you are bleeding at any other time it's called spotting, and if it's heavy enough to be considered a normal "period" then it is not normal, and you need to call your gyno about this.
