Chronology needed: Based on this question, it sounds like you started birth control pills in the middle of your cycle. At that point, the rest of the cycle has been set in motion as ovulation has happened (so if you didn't have backup contraception you may want to get a pregnancy test). If you continue the birth control pills as prescribed then the next 1 or 2 should normalize (light/regular)
