Irregular

A little over a year ago I stopped taking the pill because i couldnt stop the weight gain and i was always moody. Then I didn't have my period for 5 months. Saw a new dr, was prescribed birth control to take for a month to start up my periods again (after I told her I wanted to stay off of bc of previous issues). BC does not give you a real period and i wajt kids in thr near future. I just got my first natural period this last Saturday on 05/02. Horrible cramps and heavy flow still. Has anyone experienced this?
