Combined pill and bleeding

Hi, I've been taking the combined pill continuously for approx 6 months. I was told this was ok.

I recently (1.5 monthly packets) changed from microgynon to rigvedon.

Tonight I am bleeding. Not heavy but enough to feel it come out (sorry tmi)

Is this because I need a period/break or other reason?

Thanks in advance

If you want to maintain the contraceptive effect then don't stop taking it until the break is due
