Period lasting ages

Hi everyone, I’m 24 for context and have been what I believe is my period for almost 3 weeks now. Quite heavy. I’ve been taking the mini pill (for the first time) Which might have messed up my hormones because I’ve never had this issue before. I stopped taking it the other day to see if the bleeding would stop but it didn’t. i have a doctors appointment booked soon but just wondered if anyone has experienced the same issue, I also have been getting lower back pain but i’m not sure if that’s related or due to bad indigestion/uti. My periods usually are quite short only lasting for a few days, im putting it down to the pill but obviously a little bit concerned

The only times I had extended bleeding was when I was on the mini pill, it took around a week to stop bleeding after I stopped taking it iirc, and then when I had a mc.
Hopefully the Dr can put your mind at rest and can find you a pill more suitable.
