Hi i started my period on the 18th of march and it ended on the 23rd.I started taking birth control on the 25th 2 days after my period ended, but i didnt like the pill so i stopped on the 28th and then on the 31st I began bleeding like i was on my period again. I began bleeding in the morning and it is now night and i am still bleeding, like its a normal period. my cycle is usally 28-30 days. Can you tell me why this has happened is it bad? And if not protected could i get pregnant??

Taking the pill, and/or stopping, can cause irregular bleeding and bleeding between mestrual periods. So this is probably a result of your starting and stopping. I am not a doctor, so if you are worried, then the best thing to do is see your doctor because there are other conditions which can cause bleeding.
Merely Me, a writer and community leader here wrote about some of the causes in this article, Bleeding In Between Periods: What does it mean?
Taking the pill for only two days would not really protect you from becoming pregnant if you had unprotected sex.
