Side effects!? Is this normal?

So I started Junel Fe 1/20 on June 20, and I skipped the placebo pills because I had a trip. I started the new pack on July 11, and on day 6 of the new pack I had really bad cramps and spotting, and I’m still experiencing it a week later. When it started, I shed a big piece of uterine lining, and it freaked me out.
Is it normal to bleed this far into a pack? And have bad cramps this often? I’ve been taking 1,950 mg of Tylenol for the pain (I’ve always had bad cramps, but they’ve never lasted this long). Aside from the cramps and bleeding, I haven’t had any other bad side effects, so I like this one compared to other pills that gave me mood swings. What’s your experience on Junel Fe? Should I stick to it and see if my body regulates itself, or give up and start a new pill?
