A member asked:
On birth control for 4 months can you still have cramps and back pain on the pill?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: These are not necessarily signs of ovulation, as the pill prevents that. They may just be side effects of the hormones of the pill itself.

Yes: You can, if you were put on the pill for bad cramps and to regulate your period, it should help, but there are no guarantees of complete remission of pain and cramps. Talk to your doctor as to what else you can do, many people will take anti inflammatories such as naproxen.
