Hi,
Slight menstrual irregularities and cramping can happen with hormonal pills especially on the initial days of usage.
Generally, it will settle by itself without any definite treatment. You can take analgesics like Mefenamic Acid for pain relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult a gynecologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
