Birth Control has side effects. One of them is cramping. your body is trying to adjust to the treatment because it is changing your hormones and such. I was nauseated and dizzy, It may last up to a month or two. If things don't change.. go see your OBGYN or whoever prescribed it to you. It's good that you're protected another way besides the pill alone. The pill take one cycle (one month) for it to be really affected. And it MUST be taken at the same time everyday.. good luck.

Birth control pills or the Norplant birth control device can also cause abnormal bleeding. If an egg isn't released during the menstrual cycle, abnormal bleeding either light spotting between periods or heavy bleeding during the period, may be experienced. Women using intrauterine devices for birth control may also experience excessive or prolonged periods.

Headaches often occur in AUB due to increased instability of the blood vessels. Other common complaints of AUB include cold hands and feet, forgetfulness and inability to concentrate.

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding can occur at any age. A common cause of abnormal bleeding in young women and teenagers is pregnancy. Although usually a woman will stop menstruating if she is pregnant, bleeding during pregnancy is not uncommon.

Women who experience bleeding in the first few months of a normal pregnancy may have too much estrogen, progesterone polyps or fibroids. If the pregnancy is abnormal, such as a tubal pregnancy or impending miscarriage, the bleeding may be interpreted as being from a menstrual period rather than a complication of pregnancy.

Dietary Guidelines:
Emphasize on fresh fruits, vegetables, chicken and fish. Eat soy-based foods and avoid taking increased urinations. They can deplete your body of essential minerals that Enhance to control cramping. Avoid salt and caffeine junk foods and refined sugars. Drink plenty of water and juices.
