Very normal. To put it simply: not every user can skip every period using hormonal birth control. Breakthrough bleeding, even a full-blown period-like bleed, is always normal during or after attempting to skip a period.
It may continue until your next placebo week. Or you can take seven hormone-free days now, which may allow your body to bleed you. Or it might stop soon. Anyway, it's not necessary to see a doctor.
FYI, you didn't really "tamper with mother nature" by attempting to skip this bleed. When you're on hormonal birth control, you don't have a menstrual cycle, so the "period" you get on it is entirely artificial anyway.
