Changed From Triphasis To Trigestrel

Hi, I have been on contraceptives for the last 5 years. I started of with the 3 month injection. That caused me to bleed non stop for about 2 months. I went back to the clinic and they changed the injection to the 2 month injection. That did not help either as i continued to have my period for another month. They then put me on the pill called Ovral to stop the bleeding. It did help to stop the bleeding. I then saw my doctor and he gave me triphasil which i have been using for the last 4 years without any problems. When i went back to get my repeat 2 months ago, they told me that Triphasil was discontinued and gave me Trigestral. I have switch to this pill about 2 months ago. I am on my second pack and 2 weeks from my period / red pill. Last night i started getting contraction like cramps and when i went to the toilet after a while there were some blood - light pink and brownish. This morning the blood is heavy and very red and cloty. Does this means that this pill is not working for me. I also have a history of cists and endometriosis?

No spotting and irregular bleeding can be normal side effects of hormonal contraceptives, according to NIH reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms.

Has there been any change?

Are you on any other medications?
