Yes, Birth Control can cause cramps. Some women complain of cramping during the first few months of using hormonal birth control like the patch, pill, ring, or shot. If it lasts longer, is accompanied by painful sex, painful urination, or unusual vaginal discharge, see your health care provider. Severe cramping with an IUD may be a sign that it is not in the right place in your uterus. Contact your health care provider for advice.

If your cramps are getting worse, there may be some other reason for this and you should make an appointment with your doctor.
