problems after pill switch

ive been on a poll called cryselle or something like that for 2 years now. i was having stomach problems a week before each period, so i told my doctor. she switched me to Alesse. prior to switching, i knew when my period was coming down to the hour. and it lasted about 4 days. ive been on this new pill for 3 months. now ive been sort of spotting the whole week before my period (its really dark brown and thick). then i get my peiod at the right time for a week. then i continue to spot for a week after. its like having my period for 3 weeks and having one week off. is this just because i switched my pill or is this pill not right for me? or is there possibly something more serious wrong?
