Progesterone: These sound like side effects from your body's own natural progesterone. I have been on birth control for many years as well, and when one goes off, one is subject to the 'natural' hormones your ovaries are making. You can stay off and see if gets better. Make sure bloating isn't due to anything gastrointestinal related. See gyn dr. If cramping persists or gets worse. Best wishes.

Menses coming: With abdominal cramping and bloating and tenderness after recently stopping oral contraceptive pills, you are likely experiencing premenstrual syndrome and your period is about to start.
