I have just started taking the pill (about to finish the first pack), i have experienced period like bleeding for 11 days now is that normal?

Not unusual: It's not unusual to have prolonged menses when starting the pill. This often subsides over the next few cycles on the pill. If if persists your physician may want to switch to a pill with a higher amount of estrogen.
