Call doctor: Whoever is prescribing this medication should be available and able to counsel you better than I. I'm not sure what you're taking, for how long, and what you mean by "it won't go away." Infection, mass, or improper use/dose of hormonal pills are among the most likely reasons for your unstopped bleeding.
