Persistent period: Would check HCG ( pregnancy test). Also consider ultrasound since you are not on birth control, as may be miscarriage/polyps/ fibroids. The heavy flow after stopping birth control ,if it stopped and has not been ongoing since October, may just be due to hormonal changes. At this time with period since Feb 3 would get HCG ( blood HCG) and would follow up with gyn.
