Q: Birth Control Treatment for Endo

I'm trying to post something in this forum one more time. I'm praying someone can actually help me with this and tell me whether I should worry about this or not.
I was supposed to call the doctor today but I didnt get the chance to before they closed to ask about this.
I had a laparascopy a month ago for endometriosis. My treatment besides having it burned out of me is 6 months straight birth control. NO PERIODS.
This week I started my second pack of pills since then. And so far, I've had every single symptom of my periods and Ive been bleeding during the day (not at night except for somewhere around 3am and later...dunno whats up there.)and Im having some bad cramps (not as bad as what I used to have...but they feel close to it because theyre in a slightly higher area than what they were...I guess Im just not used to the pain being in that particular area or something..). This has been going on since late sunday/early monday.

I'm really not sure what to think of this...
I'm still new to all this crap so I'm still not sure what to freak out/worry about and what not to.
Is this normal?

I actually have been on this same treatment for endometriosis for the past 3 years. I have not had a period since I started the pills. Some people can experience bleeding until their bodies get use to the pills, but I would go to the doctor just so they could make sure everything is okay. I have never experienced bleeding unless I missed pills. Even just one pill can cause bleeding. I think it would be a good idea to see the doctor just in case.
