The hormones estrogen and progestin work together to keep eggs from leaving the ovaries. Pregnancy cannot happen if there is no egg to join the sperm. It also makes the cervical mucus thicker blocking the sperm from getting to the eggs.
If you do take the pill incorrectly then the hormones will not effectively prevent pregnancy. But still bleeding while pregnant no matter if you are taking birth control pills are not, is much different than a regular period. It is usually spotting that lasts only 1 or 2 days.
Cramps occur when the muscles contract to push out the uterine lining. So, cramps at some level are a natural part of having a period though they can be less or more severe.
