I've recently started the contraceptive pill and my period has now been going for 9 days and i have quite bad cramps along with it. is this normal?

Body adjusting...: Hang in there! It takes your body a few months to adjust to the pill. So you can have a long period or spotting in-between your periods. Usually this goes away by 3 months of pill use. Best wishes!
