Switched Pill...is spotting normal?

I took LoOvral for about 10 months and did fine. The last 2 or 3 months I felt very emotional/hormonal. I told my doctor and she switched me to Loestrin24Fe so I wouldn't have the entire week without hormones. Last month I did skip the last inactives in my LoOvral and went right into the Loestrin 24Fe. I have about a week left in this first pack and I've been spotting. Not bad but enough to concern me. My gyno hasn't gotten back to me yet so I'm turning to you. Is this normal with a new pill? (they said it wasn't different hormones?) Is this because I skipped my period last month? Any other ideas? Thank you for your help.

I agree--either the extended cycle or the pill change is probably to blame.
