When you're on hormonal birth control, the hormones make your bleeding lighter and less crampy. When you stop birth control, you are having an actual period, and bleeding and cramping are likely to be heavier. You return to your own previous pattern within a month or two after stopping hormonal birth control. If you're not seeking pregnancy, you can talk with your health care provider about contraceptive options to avoid heavy and crampy periods. If you're trying to get pregnant, talk with your health care provider about options for pain control.

When ovulation resumes, you are likely to notice an increase in both mid-cycle pain and cramping with your period, as well as heavier flow. Most likely, you will return to your previous level of cramping and flow.
