Lower abdominal pain for 5 days, just started ortho tri cyclen (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate). is this normal? should i stop taking it? and if so what can i expect if i do?

When to get checked: If you develop a fever, vomiting or worsening pain then get checked. Make sure you are moving your bowels, as constipation can cause multiple abdominal pain symptoms. The new medication is likely not the cause.
