Okay..."Hitler" is wrong.
Birth control pills are useful because they not only help prevent against pregnancy and regulate hormones in the body, but they can help with PMS problems. The only negative effects they can have are clotting, perhaps some weight gain, or - in some cases - spotting.
If you're bleeding this much, you need to call your doctor. Usually oddities like this pop up within the first three months, and go away in that amount of time. Nine months is a long time to be on a pill and have trouble.
It's possible that your - actually, is it the pill? - whatever form of birth control you're taking is too low dose. I tried Yaz because our insurance covered it and I got my period every two weeks for two months. It was awful.
Are you sexually active? It's possible that you miscarried. Spotting can also sometimes be a sign of pregnancy.
In any case, you need to contact your doctor and ask him what's going on ASAP.

you seriously expect to shock the hell out of your system with hormones and not have any side effects. thats what birth control pills are, concentrated doses of artificial hormones that throw your menstural cycle for a loop. you know, its funny, I met this nice girl, she was stunningly beautiful, about age nineteen while I was on R&R from Afghanistan. she started taking those fucking things, and the next time I meet her about ten months later, its like walking on thin ice with the mood swings, growth in everything but her breasts was stunted (and those became disproportionately big), and apparently I'm now a chauvanistic bastard for trying to pay for dinner. Don't worry, the bleeding's normal according to my friends, but you should really think about taking a drug that is used by doctors to keep young girls with large growth plates from getting abnormally tall. there's so many alternatives, and if your boyfriend doesn't want to sport the rubber armor, the hell with him.
