Well period two since I've been taking BCP has come and gone. It was almost painless. I only had cramps the first day and those were very mild. Aspirin made them disappear. I'm loving this. I was thinking though, I'm going to eventually want kids some day. This will be far in the future seeing as I'm not even married yet and still in school, but I know that I do want them. When I stop taking birth control I assume that the cramps will come back. Has anyone had to deal with this problem? What did you do?

according to my gyno at least, who tends to be real good about these things...
sometimes (oftentimes she said) if there is severe cramping for no *other* reason (eg fibroids, cysts, endometriosis, etc), then it's just because the hormones in the body haven't had time to straighten themselves out yet and b/c helps because it does just that, in a rather major way. So if you are in late teens/early twenties, being on b/c for a couple years might help by straightening the body's hormones and giving the body more time to mature.. and in a couple of years the cramps may have let up some...

which no, is not always the case, but i believe the doc that it is at least sometimes (i hope so!)...
