I have been on a birth control pill for 23 days now and i have had heavy bleeding every day since starting and taking it consistently. is this normal?

No: not normal but likely nothing bad. it may just be the timing of when you started it. if you started it during your period as opposed to at other times that can affect whether your bleeding is in sync. also the type of pill may affect that as well. i would just speak to your doctor
