Why has my period continued while on the pill?

Okay, so i took my first ever contraceptive pill - Rigevidon - on saturday(2 days ago) as my period had come a little early. It was at around 8pm because that was when i just noticed the start of my bleeding. My period didn't stop so assumed it was just cuz the pill was still taking effect. The next day, i took the pill at 5pm as that's when i want to take it every time and the bleeding almost stopped. However, in the middle of the night i woke up with the most painful cramps i have ever had! i usually don't have any cramps at all. This morning my period came back and i got like 2nd-3rd type bleeding(brighter red and a lot more) and i still have some cramps but my dosage from yesterday should not have run out yet!

Should i keep taking the pill and see what happens or see my doctor right now?

    if youre sexually active, keep taking the pill BUT go to the doc. sound like the pill is not the dosage u need.

    if ur period continues while on the pill then you dont have the right dose. go to the doc and get it fixed!

    If you're pregnant you should still have your interval it simply depends upon you and your frame. During the time you are taking the 7 sugar drugs it's ordinary in your frame to begin your interval. When you're intended to be taking the hormonal drugs and omit you're preventing the cycle where your delivery manipulate has set for you....
