Hard to answer: This is a difficult question to accurately answer since an examination of you was not done. Generally, oral contraceptive pills will stop cramping as there is no ovulation and therefore no progesterone The most common cause of cramping is a substance called prostaglandin from the endometrium acting on the smooth muscle of the uterus. That is why prostaglandin inhibitors like Ibuprofen Rx work.
