Birth control not working

kate

Hey, I'm concerned because I just started birth control again after a few years of not using it. I started back on the combination pill. I started bleeding really heavily for about a week and it finally stopped. Is that a sign that a birth control pill is not effective or maybe I need a different type?

I'm not ready to get pregnant yet and I'm concerned that maybe it's not fully effective.
