You should see your health care provider.Sometimes you need to try a few different pills to see which one is right for you.Some are too strong,others not strong enough.I'm not familiar with the brand you mentioned,there are so many.Tell your doc or whomever you see what's going on,you might need a different pill.Best to you!Patty

There are hundreds of different types of pills & as patty also said,i too am not familiar with the one you mentioned.I have been on 4 types of pills and like many women, have used a trial & error method to see what suits me best.What suits me may not suit you as it all depends on how your body reacts.The fact that you've been bleeding like you have isnt unusual-the pill can play havock with your periods and make you spot at any time however this must be uncomfortable so I therefore suggest that you speak to whoever you got the pill from & perhaps try a new one.Like I said before though,you may have to try several in order to see what suits you
best wishes

Yes, yoay want to switch to another brand of pill but this is your first cycle, correct? Most problems like these will work themselves out within 3 months and after 3 months, if you still have problems, then you should switch. Otherwise you may switch so often that your body never gets adjusted to the hormones and nothing will work. Of course, you must be your own judge but I suggest waiting for 3 cycles and if it doesn't fix itself, try another. Spotting or strange periods are comman in the first 3 months.
