Coming on early on the pill?

For the past 3/4 months I've been coming on exactly 7 days before my pack of pills was due to end. Not fully, but just the dark discharge you usually get before you start properly. Its not much but i'd still have to wear a thin panty liner just in case. This would happen all week then when i actually finished the pills, i would come on properly.
This has never happened before. Ive been on the pill for about 4 years and its always worked like clockwork. Nothing happened til my body realised i'd stopped taking the pills for a couple of days.
I went to the family planning clinic cos i was out of pills anyway, and the nurse changed me from Microgynon to Cilest which apparently have a higher estrogen dosage. Im in my last week now and am already having the darker coloured discharge before ive even finished the pills.
Anyone had this before? I reckon i should let my body get used to the new pills for a bit first but is there anyway to get my body into a proper routine again?

Definitely give it a chance to work, but if it doesn't stop, maybe have a chat to your doctor, cause it sounds like your hormones might be a bit out of whack
