3 week period. Not normal

First off I am a diabetic 18 years old and am on birth control. I haven't had sex in over 9 months.

I recently ran out of my birth control pills. I didn't renew the birth control  for 2 months because I needed to get back on a regular schedule, as I didn't have my period for the past 2 months. I didn't even spot.

Long story short I finally got them renewed started back on birth control and had my period last almost 2 weeks. Understandable because I was off birth control and I knew my body needed to "catch up."

Well almost a week later I started my period again and now it won't stop. It has been 3 weeks. I thought it was about to stop because for the past 3 days it slowed down. Now it has picked up and is super runny. Before it was always thicker. What do I do? Is there something wrong with me?

This is not a common side effect of birth control pills and the above information is completely inaccurate.  Birth control pills are generally safe to take and the information above is false.  Please disregard.

You do need to see your doctor though.  Which type of birth control pill are you on hon?

Can you explain? And what should I do? Should I wait for it to end and see if it happens again? I am kind of scared and don't know what to do.
