A member asked:
Is cramping normal when i'm on my third week of active birth control pills, especially if i took some late?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MENSTRUAL CRAMPS: You should not be having cramps unless your period is coming. Some bleeding may occur if you forget your bcp pills. Seek gyne consult when in doubt. Bcp can cause cramps when taken in an empty stomach late at night.
