Answer 1

I'm not an OB/GYN but I have had some issues with bleeding as a side effect from getting used to being on one brand of birth control pill for a while when it comes to the way in which I take it for medical problems.

Based on this yes, it is possible that your body could be either immune to the product or the hormones wearing out. I would definitely recommend getting in touch with your OB/GYN to let them know what is going on to see what they think.
