Q: Odd period at beginning of pill

I have just started taking the pill (a week ago) and my doctor advised me to take it on the 1st day of my period. My period has now lasted 1 week where usually it is about 4-5 days. It is also very irregular. One day i think i have stopped my period and in the evening i begin again. It is very annoying, will it settle down and stop soon, or is there something wrong?
