1st month on orthocylen, now bleeding past 6 days. tampon requried(much more than spotting) am i having bleeding breakthrough or just longer period?

Prob breakthrough: You are most likely experiencing breakthrough bleeding. Be sure that you are taking your pill at the same time each day and that no pills are missed. It may take 1-2 packs to regulate your period. If you have not had an exam by your health care provider and the bleeding lasts longer than 2 weeks contact your provider.
