Desogestrel prolonged period?

I've been on desogestrel for just over 2 years and haven't had any sort of bleeding or period until about 4 months ago. This coinciding with me stopping breastfeeding. For the first few months I have a couple of days of very light spotting and it was quite regso I presumed it was a 'period' coming back. Now I've started bleeding again, lightly but bright red and it's been going on now for almost 2 weeks. Is this normal? It seems to stop and then the next morning there it is again.

Seeing the nurse tomorrow to come off this, have had a period for 4 weeks and it's done me in, I'm sure I'm anemic too

They promised me no periods and so far I've not had a single day without one!!! (It started 3 days after I started taking it - a week earlier than it should have been!)
