A member asked:
Feeling a lot of menstrual cramps after starting birth control pills, is it supposed to be like this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Give it time: Usually cramps improve after starting the pill, mostly because menstrual flow is decreased. Since you are just starting you should wait a few cycles for your body to adjust to it.
