I switched brands of birth control (Ortho Novum 1/35 to Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo)?

I switched brands and now I'm having cramps and spotting a week before I start the placebo pills. Is this normal? Also, the pharmacist said that there isn't a generic of Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo, I think she's BSing me. Does one exist?
