Im on the pill but i'm cramping 7 days before my period is due. i also have back pain. could i be pregnant?

Possible, unlikely: The contraceptive pill if taken consistently is very effective to prevent pregnancy, close to 98-99%. However, if you are suspicious of pregnancy, do a pregnancy test if your period is delayed by a week or so.
