Brown tablets don't have any harmone , just contain iron to maintain your routine .your peroids are normal

You are on your 25th (brown) tablet, so the bleeding you’re seeing is the expected withdrawal bleed. Some women may get spotting or a bit of bleeding during the active pills, but the main bleed is meant to happen after the 28th tablet. Continue taking the pills as scheduled; if the bleeding is heavy, prolonged, or accompanied by pain, see a clinician. Do you have any pain or heavy bleeding? Have you missed any pills recently?
Treatment Plan
Continue taking the pill as directed
Use backup contraception if any pill missed Consult if bleeding >7 days or very heavy
Prevention Tips
Take the pill at the same time every day
Avoid missing pills; use a reminder
Use backup contraception if you miss a pill or have bleeding
