I think you're supposed to menstruate when you go off the pill and you're supposed to dry up when you go back on. This could be a kind of side effect and you're just reacting to the change in body chemistry.
You could have a sodium imbalance. Lots of girls write in and complain of urinary tract infections and having to pee a lot. This is the way you're reacting. Fortunately, this may be easily remedied. You can get some orange juice or a sports drink and pour a tall glass and drink it down. The sodium will correct the imbalance and make you retain your water. That should be enough to plug it up.
It could also make you thirsty so try and pay attention to what you're doing. You don't want to drink so much you flush all your sodium back out all over again. Try and drink a little bit at a time. You can always go back for more.
This might make you cramp and the cramps could make you menstruate all over again so take some acetaminophen before you drink the juice. Don't take aspirin. It thins your blood and that could make you start again, too.
I hope this helps you.

It is normal. I have restarted the pill a few times and that always happens to me.
It should also state in the directions provided that spotting and/or irregular bleeding may occur when initially starting the pill, but to continue taking your pill and after 3 months (maybe even sooner), this should stop.
