Period Won't Stop!

I'm on the Loestrin 24FE birth control pill & I take it pretty religiously, at the same time every day & I very rarely miss a pill. I started my sugar pills last Wednesday & my period came on Friday. I start a new cycle on Sunday, so like every month, I renewed my prescription & took my pill. It's now Friday & I'm still bleeding. Not heavily, but enough to have to wear a tampon at times because it's a nuisance. It gets especially worse when my boyfriend & I have sex. I've been on this pill for about 2 years now & I've never had this problem. Any suggestions as to how to stop it or what it could be?
