Cramping after Birth Control

I know, another birth control question but I was concerned and still am a little. I went off of birth control on 10/28/18 (last pill in the pack). On Tuesday, 11/6/18 I had serious cramping for a few hours like I was going to get my period. Any thoughts? It has sense passed. My last period started ~10/24/18 so, although now my cycles will be wonky since going off the pill, I am obviously not due for my period until ~11/19/18.

I thought this was the case, so I did some research "Withdrawal bleeding, also known as a hormonal period or fake period, is the monthly bleeding women experience while using a hormonal birth control method, such as the Pill, the patch, or the NuvaRing. ... Monthly withdrawal bleeding is not the same thing, though, as having a real menstrual period."

So that's why when you go off the pill your cycles can be so crazy. You could totally be getting your period. When I went off bc. I bleed for 2 weeks, one was breakthrough bleeding and then I got my normal period right after.

I hope this helps!
