Hello,

It is difficult to say whether the bleeding and cramps you are experiencing are because of stoppage of birth control shot or due to placentation. The symptoms you have described can happen in both the conditions. The best way to confirm is to do a urine pregnancy test. It will help to rule out pregnancy. Once the pregnancy is ruled out, you can take mefenamic acid to relieve the cramps.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
