Started Birth Control, Bleeding Dark Brown Blood, Cramps. Is It Withdrawal Bleed ?

Hi, I started birth control about 2 months ago and I m on the beginning of the third month. I am now starting to bleed dark brown/red blood for about a little over a week and having cramps here and there. I haven t taken the white pills on my birth control yet so I am wondering if this is a period or I m just bleeding old withdrawal blood. How long should it last and should I talk to my doctor?
