I just started birth control on February 28th and I had my period but it continued and won't stop bleeding. I'm not sure if I should stop taking it or not. I got on birth control because I had a heavy flow and extremely painful cramps.

I'm experiencing heavy breakthrough bleeding that feels like a period, one week before placebos, in my 3rd month of taking birth control. Is this worrisome? I haven't skipped a pill, although I took it two hours late a couple of times this month.
