See details: The first step would be to check a pregnancy test and confirm that you are not pregnant even if you have been taking your pills correctly. You will need to have a thorough history and physical performed. This will determine if and what additional testing is required. You may need to be treated with hormones other than birth control pills in order to get the bleeding under control.

See your doctor: You need to see your doctor as soon as possible. With this much bleeding you may be anemic and will need to be tested. You may also need to take another medication to stop your bleeding and reset your menstrual periods.
