Spotting after starting new pills?

I have been on Ortho tricyclen lo for over a year, and I just switched to Kelnor. I started the Kelnor after only 6 days of the placebo pills because my doctor said that the pill can be more effective if you have less placebo days. After taking about 11 of the active pills, I noticed a tiny amount of spotting that has been going on for the last 2 days. Is this common when switching pills, or could something else be going on? I had some breakthrough bleeding when I would miss pills on the OTC, but I've been taking the Kelnor pills every day at the same time (+/- 2 hours) and haven't missed a pill.
