Hello and welcome to HCM,
Variation in menstrual cycles is common.
If you have started taking the birth control pills recently then certain variations or alteration in the menstrual cycle can occur.
Since, you are taking birth control pills chances are pregnancy are negligible even if you have unprotected sex.
The cramps that you experience before onset of periods is likely to be due to pre-menstrual syndrome.
Pre-menstrual syndrome is set of symptoms which occurs before onset of menstrual cycle.
Pre-menstrual syndrome consists of cramps, lower abdominal discomfort, breast tenderness etc.
Light spotting can also occur.
Thanks and take care
