Bleeding Continuously Since The Use Of Contraceptive Pills. Why Is This Happening?

I started the levest 150/30 contraceptive pill around a month and a half ago. I started it on the first day of my period, as instructed and ever since, I haven't stopped bleeding! It's not as much as a full period but it's enough to wear a regular tampon and it be half full. On rare days, the bleeding is heavier and sometimes, it is a brownish colour. I'm just wondering is this normal?
I'm some what worried and embarrassed too. Me and my boyfriend decided to be safe and get me on the pill but this is stopping our sex life, will this last any longer?! :/
Can you tell me what's happening please and what I should do? Should I keep going with the pill and see how it goes or what?:(
Thanks :(

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
This is a rare and not mentioned side effect, and should inform to your doctor. The continuous bleeding may be secondary to some problem in your system.
So i advise you to consult your doctor, and she may stop the drug.
Other causes may be the anemia, pelvic infection, etc.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
