Probably not. Your cramps may simply have changed since you have gotten older. This happened to me during puberty. I started out with mostly painless periods. Nowadays, I need to take pamprin at the first sign on cramps, or I'll end up confined to bed and vomiting.

Hey Dany. My girlfriend took Plan-B a while ago and for a couple of months she had abnormal periods. You might notice them coming a little late, but they sorted back out for her so hopefully they will for you too.

Another note: The Plan-B help line said it was because she took it within a week of her expected period so that's why it threw her way off.

When I took it it messed up that month's cycle, but I don't think it should effect any of the others.
Could there be another reason? Are you on another birth control since then? OR it could be just age.

well if using condom is a birth control then yes but no pills or patch, just condom =) I'm not worried about being pregnant but I'm worried with what is happening! 5 days late now and still those painful cramps

I might call my doc and ask. That's odd.

Most women that are not on Birth control will have painful cramps, this is why so many women will start using birth control to begin with.

Have you both considered hormonal birth control?

eiri even with the pill you get this bad cramps? wow you really get them pretty bad. I have to say that I have been blessed for not ever having bad cramps. If I get they are easily controlled with just tylenol. I have found that taking calcium does helps me. If I do good on the calcium I truly get painless periods..

Well no, on Birth Control my cramps went almost all away. I could still feel them but I wasn't sick from them. I'm not on the pill anymore though.

I used them primarily for birth control, anything else was icing. As I had a habit of forgetting them, I was causing myself undue stress and panic, so I decided to try Depo.

Did you had a bone scan before you took that depo shot? Out of the many horrible side effects I have heard people saying from this drug the most scary is osteoporosis. Particulary if you are skinny I would suggest you to check your bones regurarly.
