Is it normal to get actual bleeding while I’m on the pill?

I just started taking it 5 days ago and today I started actually bleeding a bit and cramping. I was supposed to get my real period three days ago and only thing I’ve been expelling was brown discharge but no spotting or bleeding whatsoever until today.

1. No i am NOT pregnant. I haven’t had sex in 3 months and I’ve had my periods on schedule.

2. I have been taking the pill religiously at the exact same time everyday.

3. I felt sick, my dumbass ate something with cheese and I’m very lactose intolerant. I took the pill at 5:30 am and threw up a bit after 8:30 am. I started bleeding a bit maybe an hour ago and it’s about to be 3pm.

4. I am 21, I work wacky shifts and go to school and get little sleep. I’m putting OT so I can save up for a trip after this summer classes and before starting fall semester and to cover my bills for at least two months.

My bf is coming back in town next week, after not seeing him for 3 months, and I need to be fully protected!! Lol. Am I still good? I’m taking a combination pill.
