Unfortunately, it is normal.

When you first begin taking the pill, you can have one full cycle of irregular bleeding, even into your placebo week.

Keep taking your pills as usual, even your placebo week, your body will balance out.

Yeah, as long as it's regular period strength bleeding or less, you just have to wait. If it is really heavy and lasts that long you should see a doc because you don't want to be losing too much blood.
