Answers:
Yes, that's how the pill is designed to work. It's not a true period, but neither is the one you get when you take the pill for 3 weeks then take a week off. It's simply withdrawal bleeding, meaning withdrawal from the hormones in the active pills. Nothing to be concerned about.

It takes 14 days for the contraceptive to be in your system fully.
Go to your local women's centre/clinic for advice on menstruation ( periods) and a contraceptive that works for you.
Safe sex is your responsibility to yourself condoms too!

Yes
your pills stimulated the uterine lining -you stopped them therefore you had withdrawal bleeding -your period

i would call or confront a doctor about the problem
