i'm really scared. last monday i started bleeding, quite heavy. i usually get heavy periods so it didn't seem unusual: however, i started to take the mini pill for the first time. i've never taken it before, it says to take it on the first day of your period so i did. the bleeding started to calm down and was mainly spotting. but ever since then i'm still bleeding, not super heavy but moderately. it freaked me out a bit so i decided to stop taking the pill to see if it would stop, it hasn't yet. i'm also cramping a little bit, so it most likely is my period but why is it lasting this long? i took two pills the other day because i heard that can make the bleeding calm down but it didn't really do much. i'm 24 for context
