Starting the combined pill and weird bleeding

So, I started the combined pill on the first day of my period, 7 days ago. The first few days were relatively normal then the last 4 days my period is still going but keeps stop starting. Like I'll literally have nothing for hours and hours then all of a sudden it will start full flow again. Every times I think it's gone it comes back. Anyone experienced similar? How long does it last? My normal period ends on day 5. Also, I breastfed for 2.5 years and although I had 4 periods before stopping this is my first since weaning. Ironically I went on the pill (Brevinor) to regulate and lighten my periods!

Hi

No personal experience but In the product license it states that:

Spotting or bleeding may occur during the first few cycles. Usually menstrual bleeding becomes light and occasionally there may be no bleeding during the tablet-free days.

So hopefully it will improve, hope that this helps
