BCP issues? I think?

First, I must say how glad I am I found this board.
I've been on the pill for many years. When I first started getting my period, I literally would get it for three weeks at a time. After many painful years and testing, my dr. put me on the pill to regulate it since nothing was "wrong" medically.
Fast forward to now. Everything is under control BUT I've been bleeding slightly after intercourse. Perhaps I should say more "tinged" with pink. It only lasts for a few hours. I also spotted a few days ago, which had nothing to do with intercourse. This is new for me. I had a normal PAP back in April.
I did do a few things that are new though...does it matter if you take the brand name of a pill or the generic? I've been taking both types as the packs are all, depending on which pharmacy is closest (prescription is the same, but one gives me the generic). Also, three times in the last year I started a new pack of pills right away, rather than taking the placebo and getting my period.
I'm just wondering if I screwed things up, especially considering my history?
Thank you so much in advance.
