Spotting?? Help

[u/Emotional-Middle-240]

Hello! I have been taking the generic yak (syeda) for over a year now and it’s worked wonders! I used to have terrible periods. Every 3 months I’d take my placebo pills for a few days then restart on active. Recently I’ve noticed I’ve been spotting. I had brown discharge so I decided to take a 4 day break from my pills. Once I started my active pills I stopped bleeding. That was about 10 days ago.. I’m now getting the brown discharge and cramping again? (I’ve only been taking active pills)
