See a Doctor: when you have taken your pills for 8 months and have had no problems at all, then you start having bleeding issues, you should see a doctor. Do a Pregnancy test. You may have a polyp, cyst, infection etc. Hopefully, you have not taken any antibiotics tho cycle. They can make your pill less effective. Good luck.
