I have experienced brown spotting and bleeding while using the second pack (without breaking) of Diane-35 - when should I take a break?

Question

Good morning
On 08.09 I started taking Diane-35, and I have been taking it continuously for 7 days to this day.
From 06.10 the brown discharge began, and from 11.10 I have bruised bleeding to this day.
When should I take a 7-day break? And is this normal and I can finish that second pack I have left (3 tablets).

If the 7-day withdrawal bleeding break is missed, the risk of spotting and mid-cycle bleeding is significantly increased when taking the tablets from the second pack. This is not a cause for concern - it is a normal and frequent reaction of the body. Take the tablets according to the schedule and take a break after taking all 21 tablets in the pack. During the break, you are likely to experience withdrawal bleeding, so it may be that the bleeding will not stop until you start the next pack.
