Stopping BC after 1 week and bleeding

Hello everyone,
My DH and I have been TTC almost x4 years. Fertility Dr can not locate a reason to no BFP. So anyways last month my GYN recommended Birth Control pill for 3-6 mths to shock system and then TTC again. So I tried Ortho tricyclen Lo and woooh I was so moody! I could not stand to be around myself by day 7 :) LOL. It used to be hard for me to use BC when I younger because of the moody effects. But we had found one I I used for years, up until we were married.
Anyways, now to my point.... I stopped the pill after day 7 pill and that was Saturday, yesterday I had some brown discharge and still have today. I went ahead and put in a tampon since it's continuous. I wondered if my body will automatically readjust to no pill after a few days? Has anyone else just stopped the pill?
Just curious.

Thanks for reading!

Great, Thanks for the reply. It would be nice if 1 week did the trick. I was just wondering about the bleeding since I have never stopped mid pill package. Thanks again for the reply!!
