Hi,
Since you switched the pill, you should have used additional protection. In the current scenario, please get an estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres to confirm/exclude pregnancy. If negative, this discharge could mean an impending period. As you changed the pills, there may be some hormone disruption in this cycle and this breakthrough bleeding could be attributed to that. If positive, please seek help from a specialist for further management. A trans-vaginal sonogram is necessary. Hope this helps.
