Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is common to have heavy periods after completing first pill pack and it will normalise after 2-3 cycles.
Start a new pack now so that bleeding also decreases and your cycle also stays in control along with benefits of contraception.
Just relax and take care.
