the pill and spotting

I started taking the pill 3 weeks ago. The first week it was ok just a little nausea here and there. Towards the end of the second week I started spotting and have been doing so since then. In the middle of my third week I started feeling mild pain similar to those that I get when I'm about to get my period. Today is the beginning of the last week on the pack (sugar pills) so I know I should expect my period to come soon even though I'm still spotting.

So is this my body getting used to the pill? Am I going to keep on spotting after my period is over? Should I talk to my gyno to maybe get another prescription for another brand?
