Bleeding on mini pill

I have taken the progesterone only pill since just after my daughter was born 2 years ago and had no periods the whole time. I stopped breastfeeding about 3 months ago and also recently lost 21 pounds quite quickly so may have had some shifts in hormones.
I am now in week 4 of a really weird breakthrough bleed, bright red blood, not as heavy as a normal period but definitely heavier than spotting.

Has anyone else experienced this?
My doctor said to double up on my pill every day until the bleeding stops, then she will examine me to rule out anything more serious. Now I’m panicking that something might be wrong.
