I know for sure it is not normal to bleed that long on BC pills...dark just means old blood. But you need to get in and see your OB doctor soon.
They say technically, that you should give it one month before you think of yourself as protected while on pill...but some doctors and literature say you are almost immediately. I say play it safe and wait that month.
Also...BC pills do not protect you from STD diseases, such a HIV, venereal, chlamydia etc which condoms will so unless you are 100% sure about your bf or like many couples do is just show test results of a very recent test. Plus, there is issue of is it monogamous or has he had any kind of sex with anyone one else and can you trust him. With HIV around, is it worth it to risk your life or being sick for the rest of your life?
I talk openly with your doctor about complete protection and also with your bf as well. What are his values etc. Many people look at oral sex as not really having sex but truth is it can spread many diseases so just be careful.
