because levest contains a progestogen, you do get breakthrough bleeding. that being said, 7 days straight does seem excessive, so id stop taking them (for now) and speak to 111 (chances are theyll tel you stop taking levest and either see your gp or go to your nearest a&e). I would advice to stay hydrated and increase your iron intake if your feeling weak / dizzy / light headed.

id see a doctor then as menorhagia can be due to a high progestogen: oestrogen ratio (so you may need blood tests). chances are theyll tell you to wait or prescribe another pill. your not diabetic / have pcs or thyroid problems by any chance?
