Coming off pill at end of pack,still have break-through bleeding

So I came to the end of my pill, had the week off, and then realised that I was at the end of my prescription the night before heading off on a work trip overseas. Have been having problems with the pill anyway - I'm on yasmin, which has been great in many ways but as time has worn on I'm increasingly confident its eroding my libido - so figured it was a good time to come off and see what happens. (We use other contraception as well, am mainly on the pill due to my hormones going a bit crazy with what my doctor reckons is probably low-level PCOS)

I assumed, based on memory, that since I'd come to the end of the pack it would be fine, i might just have a later period, I stopped bleeding for most of this week then today got pains in a meeting and now have some minor break-through bleeding. I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to stop this and if its likely to continue through the whole month? Its just I'll be travelling constantly off and on in places its v inconvenient so I might try and get a repeat prescription if its likely to keep on like this. Also, while I remember this happening when I once stopped in the middle of a month after having an adverse reaction to a pill but I didn't think it would happen if I finished a pack - should I worry about this?
