This bleeding is normal since you took the lower dose pills of a
triphasic pack first. You would have needed only the highest dose
pills, also found as the daily pills in OrthoCyclen (for future
reference). It should straighrten out in the next few weeks.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
