I have been diagnosed with dymenorrhea. and i started on a birth control that would limit my periods and make them shorter so that i wouldnt be in pain any more. it worked. i was fine. i stopeed takin the BC on july 2nd and last had my period june 20th, and lasted for one day. i havent started my period for this month yet and i am expirencing slight lower abdomin cramps. and i have been for about 1 week or so, and this is unsual. I NEVER have cramos before my period EVEN before the BC i have no idea why this is and would appreciate some insight. i have had unprotected sex since being off the BC and have no other signs of pregnancy. could my period just be late from stoppin the pills? my breasts are also tender as i usually would with starting my period. HELP HELP HELP.
