New BC causing me to spot for 9 days

I was previously on Ortho Tri Cyclen for a year an a half. I stopped taking it about 6 months ago and was off the pill for that time period. I just started a new pill called Lo Lestren Fe on September 2nd and I started spotting pretty heavily for the past 9 days and it still hasn't stopped. I had unprotected sex after 2 weeks of starting my new pill and I'm not sure if I could be pregnant and that's what's causing the bleeding or if its the change of hormones and my body is just adjusting. Help!?! I also started the bleeding the first day of my ovulation and on.

Thanks! They switched me back to my old birth control, Ortho Tri Cyclen, and said it was probably a hormone thing. I started taking my new pill yesterday and I'm still spotting that reddish, pink color blood. I am getting so impatient lol!!! No one wants to bleed for this long !!!
