possible TMI ahead...

Hi all. This is my first post here... I have a question I hope you can help me with...

This is my second cycle on the pill (Cyclessa)... It's a new brand of pills because the last ones (Nordette) were making super depressed and giving me insane mood swings.
I'm only on day 13 and started spotting yesterday. At first it was very little, and dark brown. I figured it was just old, left over blood from last month.
So it got a bit heavier as the day moved on and by last night I needed to actually wear a tampon. Before I went to bed, I checked the situation, and I found RED blood and a lot of it. just like a regular period. So I put a pad on and went to bed. This morning I woke up with more blood, red, and cramping. I've been cramping on and off for a few days now.

So what the heck is going on??? Is this normal? I know it's normal to spot a bit the first cycle you're on the pill, but this isn't the first cycle.... and it's not spotting. It's like an actual period. Anyone have any ideas?
