Weird period on the pill..

Hi,
I've been on Yasmin for about a year now. For the past few months, after speaking to my gyn, I have been taking it without the last week of pills so that I would not get my period. I realize there could be some breakthrough bleeding but this month without the usual warning signs for me of cramps, I got my period last Thursday and I still have it. At first it was light but then it became normal to heavy, then light for a day, and now back to heavy. Also, it's very brownish in color not like the usual. It's been 7 days already. Does anyone know what may be wrong? I am under quite a bit of stress with work and grad school but that really has never affected it this way before. Could it just be because I have not had a period for months that it reacted this way?

More than likely, yes, you're probably having bleeding because you haven't given your body the opportunity to have a period in a while.
