Hello and thank you for sharing your question.
Starting birth control for the first time will cause some side effects. However it would not be possible for me or your doctor to know when it will get better. In some cases, symptoms get worse, in which case you would need to stop taking the pill. In other cases the symptoms fade away and never come back. You should keep a close eye on any new symptoms or worsening symptoms. I highly suggest that you look up the type of birth control you are using and find out which dangerous side effects to watch for. It varies between different types of birth control.
Right now, your period is regular, shorter, and cramps more bearable. These are what the hormones are mainly trying to do for your body.
If over time however the side effects worsen, there are many herbal remedies you can try and in some cases much faster than hormonal treatments.
For example CrampBark (Viburnum) has been used for centuries by women all over the world to elevate cramps as well as correct the menstrual cycle. It can be added to creams, lotions or massage oils for topical use on the abdominal area; or orally as a tea.
There are many other remedies that work just as well or even better than using birth control. Let us know if you have any more questions.
