Missed birth control, now on day 9 of period… ?

I take Apri birth control and missed two days of the pill. My period started as a result, which I know is pretty common. What seems weird, though, is that I was bleeding heavier than I ever have, including passing clots that I could actually feel. It’s now day 9 going on 10 of bleeding, longer than my usual period on the placebo pills by like 6 days. It’s not as heavy as it was, but still going. Since I missed the two pills I’ve been continuing taking the birth control as usual every day.

What are we thinking… time to go to the doctor or is this still within the realm of normalcy?
