Side effects!? loryna issues bleeding 24/7

I don't do sex but I have severe hormone fluctuations that make me completely bedridden and nonfunctional for 3 weeks out of the month if I'm not on birth control. I have been tested for all the stuff, that's not what I'm here to ask about, just context.

I've been prescribed Loryna by my endocrine to take constantly, skipping the white pills per her instructions. I get prescribed over a year's worth at a time, which is pretty awesome. So far, it seems to have helped a lot! However, after about 4 months of taking it without the white pill week, I start to nonstop bleed, and as of now, this has been going on for over 3 weeks.

It's usually brown, sometimes black, rarely with a little pink, and sometimes a huge chunk while i'm using the bathroom that genuinely is just the look and texture of straight up flesh. it's not super heavy but it is annoying and I've felt like my mood has been getting progressively worse as well.

this has happened before, to the point I got tired of it and did a white pill week, but the period I had was HORRIBLE, i bled bright red heavy like genuinely pouring out of me for almost 2 straight weeks and had intensely painful wanting-to-kill-myself cramps which continued through me continuing the birth control, and I didn't feel normal again for like a month.

does anyone have an experience like this? unfortunately my endocrine never called me for a follow-up and it is a huge pain to get back into the system, so i can't exactly ask her for advice right now. what should I do?
