Long period on the mini pill- will it get better???

Do super long periods from the progesterone only pill eventually settle down after a couple of months??

I’ve been taking the pill for nearly a month now, and after having come on my period as usual, I am now on day 11 with no signs of stopping- it is just as heavy now as at the start, although luckily not as heavy as without the pill. The blood is red so it’s not old, and while I know that it is a known side effect to have irregular bleeding, I was wondering whether anyone knows if it’s common for this to go back to normal eventually? If this is going to continue, I’d rather change to a different type of pill so I’m not constantly bleeding! Thanks :)
