What Causes Prolonged Vaginal Bleeding While On Birth Control Pills?

I just resently started talking birth control with estrogen, and I started my period half way through my pills, I read online and answers said that I should just keep taking my pills as usual, and not to take my plausibo pills that eventually my cycle would start at the end. Well my period has been continuous for 11 days, what do I do?

Hi !
If you have small amount of vaginal bleeding ,like spotting than it can be a side effect of birth control pill.
But if you have heavy vaginal bleeding than you should contact with your gynecologist.
