Hello!
It is normal that periods start or at least that there is some bleeding after several months of continuous use of the pill. In that case, the ideal is to stop for 7 days (not more, otherwise you lose the effectiveness of the contraceptive) and then start again as before. This will allow your cycle to make a ''reset'', let's say. You can do this every 6 months for example.
