Cycle day 145

Currently on cycle day 145 and today my period came, finally! I am currently done with one round of Ortho Tri Cyclen after stopping Depo on 8/30. I had ONE shot and no signs of a period since May when I had my IUD removed. My Dr prescribed 3 months worth of b/c to bring back a cycle. Anyone else have to do this in order to conceive!? Is this an actual period? It’s really dark red and I had pink spotting all day yesterday. Should I continue the birth control pills?
