Hi,
You may be experiencing bleeding in the next few days.Withdrawal of hormones will cause shedding of the uterus wall.Abdominal cramps can occur due to this reason.
Antispasmodics or pain killers like ibuprofen can be taken to reduce the discomfort. In case of persisting pain,it is essential to take a pelvic ultrasound.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
