Bleeding: Not all bleeding is a period. This sounds like breakthrough bleeding. You may have had a cycle or two without ovulation, which thickens the lining and it will break off and bleeding between periods or will cause prolonged bleeding. You might want to resume birth control and check a pregnancy test of course.
