A member asked:

I'm on birth control & just got over my period & i have been having what it seems like period cramps but i don't get them after my period what's wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cramps: Cramps can be from normal hormonal variations. If it's a one time thing, it may not mean anything's wrong. If it continues, it can signify a variety of things including fibriods, endometriosis, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, or even pelvic inflammatory disease.
