Bleeding after miscarriage / the pill

Hello, I’m not sure this is the right place but also not sure where else to ask.
I had a miscarriage at the start of March. Bled for maybe a week or so, can’t fully remember. Then I went on the Desogestrel pill around mid March as I didn’t want to get pregnant again quickly.
Had a heavier than normal period at the end of March / start of April which I thought was just because I’d ovulated before I’d taken the pill, so a due period. Then about 2 weeks later I had another ‘period’ which lasted 10 days (my periods normally last 5). A couple of days ago I started bleeding again. It’s not spotting which I thought the pill might cause. I’ve had about a week between bleeds at this point.
I’m just not sure if this is a result of the miscarriage and pill and my body is just confused. Or if it’s linked to having sex and then bleeding, but it’s like a pretty heavy period each time which I wouldn’t expect.
Is my body just messed up or do I need to give the pill a bit more time to settle maybe?

Normal to take up to six months for bleeding to settle on the mini pill. It’s bloody annoying but it does usually settle down!
