question about breakthrough bleeding

I'm taking nortrel/necon, I'm 1.5 weeks into my first pack.. I'm not taking these to prevent pg, actually trying to surpress my overies, and then going into a clomid cylce.. but anyway I started spotty a little yesterday, and today it was more.. almost like a mini period.. I have cramps now.. I haven't taken the pill since 99.. and it definitely wasn't this brand... so I don't remember being on it.. I'm suppose to take two pack, skipping the placebo pills in the middle.. Iknow breakthrough bleeding is normal.. but this much.. I always thought it was a little spotting, plus are the cramps normal? I have been extremely good about taking them, at the same time every night ~I'm also taking 1000mg of metformin a day~ I want this to work in surpressing my overies, but not sure whats going on..

a few other quick questions.. it says .5/35 after nortrel on my pack, what does this mean.. and the other question is what is the difference between monophasic and triphasic?

thanks!
