I started taking birth control and finished my period 6 days ago. but i am still getting a light flow and hasn't stopped since. is this normal?

It's very common: in the first few months after starting any hormone based contraceptive to have menstrual irregularities. Continue to take your pills exactly as prescribed. If your cycles are still irregular, get back with the doctor who prescribed them. A different formulation may work better, but give it time. Dr. Anne
