Yasmin/Lucette

Had been using Yasmin for several years, all fine, and went to the GP as per usual to get another six month prescription and got prescribed Lucette, told it was the same thing but just a different name. Experienced very light bleeding a few days before I had finished all the 21 pills. This happened roughly every other month for a year at which points I said I really wasn't happy and could I please be put back on to Yasmin and the GP changed my prescription. As I had been told it was 'the same thing' I had not expected any kind of 'adjustment period' but in the first few months thought that maybe there were some subtle differences between Yasmin and Lucette which upset my hormones or something but after 12 months of it thought it wasn't right so was pleased to have been put onto Yasmin.
However, I'm now getting this same random light bleeding with Yasmin, (been back on it for 6 months now) which served me well for so long before, which I can't understand.
Appreciating that people aren't medical specialists here (might book to see GP) but has anyone any experience of this or can advise please.
