Bleeding birth control issue HELP

I’m on birth control

My birth control has 21 pills
So I took the 21 pills for 21 days
Then I took a 4 day break on
The 4 day break I didn’t bleed
On 5th day I retook my new packet of pills
That day I bled from Thursday 21st sep on wards
I’m now on A weeks of the new packets and I am still showing a pinkish red blood when I wipes sometimes
Why is this?

How long does it take to leave fully?

Why did you not take the traditional 7 day break. The pill usually operates on a 28 day cycle - 21 pills and then 7 break.

Because the doctor said it’s better to do 4 day breaks nowadays.
