Hi, any help would be great.

Ive been on the pill for 4 and a bit months (on my fifth pack), I continued the fifth pack without a break for bleeding as I was on holidays (I contacted the doctor about this, he said only to do it if absolutely necessary but it wouldn't do me any damage. I have many friends that do it regularly but I only wanted to do it this once.) I had no worry about that because it seemed to work absolutely fine for everybody I know.

Any way, I got my period, kind of, last Monday, I think it would have been the fourth day of the new pack, which is the day I would have got it. The bleeding is usually a withdrawal from the hormone so why am I bleeding for starters, the doctor told me the reason people don't bleed if they do this because the don't take away the hormone.

Anyway, I accepted my fate but the period was very different. On Monday it was like clear with a pinky tinge, on Tuesday or was browner, slightly heavier, not much, then it got a wee bit heavier, and has went between brown, really light, and red, but it has been much lighter than usual for me. Like my periods are usually 5/6 says, its like 4th day light, defo need a pad like but its just noticeably light! And there's a kind of clearness mixed with the colours when I wipe. Most of all the cramps have been damn sore, not the sorest I've had but still up there, but they've been more or less for the whole week.

One week later, I THINK it's a bit lighter than before but not a ton more, and since mid day yesterday, I haven't needed to take any painkillers although I can still feel light cramps now and then.

My body obviously didn't react well with doing this and I've learnt my lesson not to do it again, but I just worry that there's no other problem. Like is the pill not taking a full effect on me if I'm getting a period regardless, could it be some sort of illness? :S

I will go to the doctor if it continues maybe more than 10 days (as periods are always said to be within 3-10 days long), but I really am worrying there's something wrong with me.

I am 18, sexually active, my partner and I have not been with anyone else but each other.

Should I just wait it out then go to the doctor if it continues?

Thank you for any help.
