My Period Stopped And Started Again--Why?

Ashley • 18
So I'm on birth control-chateal. I finished my first pack of pills Saturday but I forgot my new pack at home so I couldn't take them last night because I was at my boyfriend's. I took it this morning when I woke up. My period stopped yesterday in the afternoon--my boyfriend and I had been having sex maybe once a day while I was on my period then yesterday we had sex five times--the last time I was sure my period was over. All day it had been light and I knew it was ending soon so by the last time we had sex I had stopped bleeding completely and I didn't start again until just now, almost 24 hours later...Is that normal? It's not spotting. It's a decent amount of blood and I'm having cramps. Help. Ice ever had this happen before.
