Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As you have stopped birth control pills after two weeks, they might have led to withdrawal symptoms.
Hormonal withdrawal can lead to bleeding.
Expulsion of blood and endometrial tissue can lead to pain abdomen.
Usually this pain will subside with antispasmodics.
If you are having persistent pain even after taking the medicines, once check for presence of endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease etc.
Consult gynecologist once, get examined and go for ultrasound.
By doing ultrasound the possible cause for your problem can be identified and treated.
In case of presence of infection, you may need one course of antibiotics.
In case of endometriosis or adenomyosis etc you may need hormonal pills for few months.
Take care.
