Hi! I switched brands last month, My withdrawal bleed came about 18 hours earlier than normal. Its because different dosages and brands of pill last longer in the body, so the longer the hormones stay in your body the longer it will be until the hormone levels fall enough to cause a withdrawal bleed. Also, irregular/missed/breakthrough bleeds are all common when starting a new pill!
