Bleeding and birth control

I started taking birth control 5 weeks before I got married, my periods where regular lasting 3 to 4 days each month without fail. I was taking it for a month when on the day i expected My period it came but was very light when i expected my period to stop it didnt I asked loads of people if this was normal and they all said yes, it will take 3 months for your body to used to it. I continued to take it but no change it was still bleeding but very lightly I took the pill for 3 months and got fed up with the bleeding it was getting me down so 5 days ago I stopped taking it and there is still no change if anything I'm bleeding heavier now not heavy but more than when I was on the pill. The pill is the 28 days with no break so I would still get my period on it. Can anyone let me know why this is happening then please tell me because I have had enough now!!! Thanks
