Is it normal to have cramping in the middle of my birth control pack?

OVULATION: Cramping in the middle of bcp may be ovulation time which is between 10 to 16 days after mens.

Not really : When taking birth control pills ovulation does not occur. Therefore cramping in the middle of the pack is not a normal side effect. If this problem persists cycle after cycle i would discuss that with your ob/gyn. You may also consider non gynecologic causes of stomach cramping.
