Thanks for your question. First let me say that you need to be complemented for using two methods of prevention, pills and condoms, which increases your protection from both unplanned pregnancy and diseases.
It is not unusual when a person changes schedule as you have during this summer, to see the body adjust differently. You mentioned that your pill taking has altered and I want to caution you to be very conscientious about taking them regularly at the same each day. That is how they are meant to work, and the failure rate increases if this isn't followed.
As far as the cramps you talk about, there could be so many reasons. The irregularity of the pills along with the changes in your sleeping, your eating, your daily stresses all can have an effect.
I can't examine you or diagnose you through the web site,yet I do recommend that you do get checked by a doctor. The cramps and feelings you are having might not be related to anything to do with the pills. This is something only a doctor can determine by doing an examination and talking with you about your history.
If it should continue, I hope that you will make an appointment and just get a check up to be sure. It may be just normal body changes that all women experience from time to time, especially with the changes in lifestyle, but you will ease your concerns by getting a check up with your favorite doctor.
