I’m on the pill so should only get my period during the 7 day break but have started bleeding whilst talking the pills. I am starting to worry, I don't know if it’s just the hormones from living with the girls, you know how we synchronise lol or weather its anything to worry about. I don't know who to ask professionally, who would be able to help? x x x

Having identified the drug as Cilest a combined pill I note bleeding between periods is a listed side effect on the leaflet and one which it advises should be checked out by your Doctor. So my original advice to you stands get checked out just in case there is something amiss or as the other poster advises in case you need different pills, as you don't want to risk either illness or pregnancy, for the sake of a vist to the docs.

 you need to go back to your GP who gave you the pills to start with, they will give you different pills to suit you and your periods x

I'm not new to the pill. I've been taking the same pill make for over 6 months and I have not been given any other medication. I did forget to take my pill 2 days in a row but I did what the leaflet said:
"More than 12 hours ago
1. Take the latest pill now
2. Throw away any others you missed
3. Take the rest of your pills at the usual times
4. Use extra contraception for the next 7 days
Less than 7 pills
1. Use extra contraception for the next 7 days
2. Do not leave a break between packs i.e. start a new pack of Cilest the day after finishing the current pack. If you do not have a period following the end of this new pack
3. Discuss this with your doctor before starting another pack"
Do you this this may have somthing to do with it?

You don't say if you are new to the pill or have changed medication or have been given other medication.
however my advice would be the same go to the doctors or the university medical centre...I assumed you registered with them when you went to university!!... and get checked out, they will be used to dealing with sexual health problems and embarassed students. It may be stress of the new house or harmonising of cycles or a medical problem that requires attention the only way to know for certain is to get checked out.
