Hi,

Its not normal for a bleeding to continue so long while on hormonal contraceptives.

If you will stop these tablets now, you may have severe withdrawal bleeding also.

I will suggest you to consult a qualified healthcare professional for necessary investigations and ultrasound to find the pathology. In the mean time, you may take some hemostatics to stop the bleeding. Also, start some iron preparation to build up the losses.

Regards
Dr Deepti
