Honestly hun, Thats not normal the pills should have stopped your bleeding at least a week ago. If your about to start your sugar pills you should call your OB and get an appt bc your just going to bleed more.

If the bleeding isn't heavy then it's not something to worry about, but I would inform your ob-gyn that so far, your body has not adjusted to the pills. This is why I didn't start mine on the first day of my period! I started them after my period was done.

Yeah it's nothing really to worry about as long as it's just spotting or light bleeding. That's normal. It takes a while to adjust. If it's heavy, then you should go to the doc because of the blood loss, but more likely it's just spotting or light bleeding.

Yeah, it should probably start calming down soon. Generally you should give a new pill about 3 months before you give up on it. For minor side effects, it's worth waiting it out to find a pill that you will be happy with later on.

The lady is right. Your pills would do this if you had the same brand no matter where you got them.
