What Causes Stomach Cramps During Periods?
My girlfriend has been on birth control for 2 years and she said she has never had a one day period. 3 weeks ago we had unprotected sex and her period was supposed to come Sunday but it came Friday morning and ended Saturday night, she also says she's having sharp pains in her stomach. Can this be from the birth control? Or pregnancy

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Stomach cramps are quite common with birth control pills and emergency pills, especially on the early days of usage. You can take Mefenamic Acid tablets for symptomatic relief. Pregnancy is not possible and if your partner is very my anxious, you can do a urine pregnancy test, just for reassurance.
Wishing all the best.
Thanks.
