Hormone reset: In many women changing forms of birth control to include starting birth control pills for the first time, switching to pills from another method (IUD, capsule, etc.), etc., it can take several months for the body to get used to the hormones. As it gets used to these hormones, irregular periods can be common. Cramping could indicate a period. A home pregnancy test may be helpful in these cases.
