It still be from the pill.. I think your body is slowly starting to get use to being off of it

It could be a number of things, the colour of the blood may give you a clue. If the blood is dark in colour, it may just be that it's old blood from your last period. If its fresh then it maybe the sex is causing some issue irritating your cervix etc - have you had a smear test?

The fact that you were bleeding all the time on the pill makes me think that your body needs a change of pill or to come off the pill.

If you have bad pain with menstruation as well then these are signs you might have a hormonal imbalance.

My vary early signs of endo were spotting throughout the cycle, bad headaches and bad cramps with menstruation. However it may very well be nothing to worry about but you are wise to be concerned about your health. I Would go and see your dr, maybe get a referral to a gynae if you are concerned and get a smear test to rule that out. If you do have bad cramps see a specialist gynae. Best wishes.
