i’ve been taking birth control from over a year now due to bad cramps and a heavy flow. i’ve been taking my birth control regularly and never experience any side effects besides mood swings. but today i have had the worst cramps i have ever felt it was absolutely horrific, and i’ve got a bit of bleeding. i never get cramps or spotting, so i’m wondering if it’s just that or if it could be something else? because oh my i have never felt cramps like it!

normal side effects, they can occur at any time

Normal! I’ve been on birth control for over a year without many symptoms and just recently experienced breakthrough bleeding.
