Sorry it's a bit grim. I'm mid 30s and bleeding is now into its 10th day. It's inconvenient, frustrating and concerning, not sure how normal this is? I'd say it's slightly increased with age but never used to be this long, anyone else have or had this?
I also take the mini pill, I take it non stop without a break.

Yes, but not in my 30s
See your GP
Don't let them fob you off with tranexamic acid long term (I had it for over a year, caused DVT)

For me, mirena coil stopped periods completely - but my heavy endless periods peri menopause related, Do get it checked out.

Yes. Since my second caesarean. After the first 4ish days, it’s brown blood/discharge for another 8-10 days.

This is not normal, especially if it’s not normal for you.
if you take the mini pill, then that’s the POP. Do you mean the combined pill where there should be a weeks break?

try POP or implant - see if that helps. I don’t get any periods since going on POP when I was 25. I’m 43 now.

It's the mini pill. Pretty common when taking that I think. Maybe try a different contraception.
