bleeding 1 wk before,etc

Hi,i was on the pill for about 2 1/2 years and changed to another pill because i was getting light bleeding a week before my period was due,and then my proper period in the time it was due. Since i have changed pills,so far it is still happening (but i have to give my body time to adjust). But this pill i have changed to has made me get pre-menstral symptoms. E.G. Pain in my lower back,Bad mood swings-emotional/crying. And also,for the last 3 days it has made my stomach very upset. Almost everything i am eating feels like it is going straight through me.(it happened a little bit last month when i had first started this new pill.) Has this happened to anyone else,or should i go back to my doctor again?
Please help,im very worried.
thanks alot.

Hi,Thanks for the reply!I was on Microgynon 50 ED for about 2 1/2 years.and then was put onto Normin-28 Day,My Dr gave me and 1 year perscription and told me that if i still found i was bleeding a week before my period to come back and she will put me on a higher dosage.Ive never had side effects this bad with any of the pills ive been on before(I was on Levlen i think it was before i started Microgyon-but was still getting my periods twice a month,until i changed to Microgynon).. I dont know where you guys are from or if that brand is a world wide brand. But im from Australia.So im not quite sure if you've heard of it before?

Very frustrating! This morning when i woke up and went to the toilet. I kind of have the same stuff as what i get a week before my period is due, its like very pale red/pink/browny stuff. Thats just a side effect from changing pills do you think? i just finished the end of my period 1 week and a half ago. So i guess you can see why im so annoyed and frustrated.

Yeah,id say Normin 28 was what i was meant to say hehe,but on my packet and perscription it said "normin 28-day".Im going to give it this cycle coming and next cycle to see if there are any changes. And then if not, Will most likely go back to my doctor. So do you think after about the 4th packet my body should have adjusted to the pills and i should be getting my periods when i take the orange colour pills(in which im meant to get my period) and not in the blue pills.

thankyou so much for all your previous help. very thankful for it.
