this is sorta similar to a question that was just asked but not exactly. i've been on mircette for about 6 cycles mostly to regulate my periods etc. i have had bad periods with cramping, nausea, diarrhea before i went on the pill, but not every month it would be once every 3 months or so. now since i went on the pill,every period i've had really horrible sharp pain cramps. could the hormones be too low for me since mircette is such a low-dose pill?

Hey Roxie!

I would call your GYNO and ask what he/she thinks...I went on BC to regulate my period, but I still get really bad cramps. The sharp pain of cramps could be caused by your pill. I had to go to a higher dose because of that and break-through bleeding. Call tomarrow and ask. They don't mind the questions. I hope I was some help...Another thing right before you get your period and you feel twinges of cramps take whatever you would for a headache, (Tylenol, Advil...ect...) That can help prevent really bad cramps. Tell us how you are doin!
