Cramps relief with minimal side effects?

I fear that this is a miracle solution that doesn't exist but I'd like something for my cramps that doesn't have many side effects. Cramps are the only reason I'm on BC- nothing else.

I just got on Apri (desogestreL-ethinyl estradioL) about a month ago and it's causing weight gain, nausea that's super disruptive, and breast swelling (that's especially distressing for me because I got a breast reduction for dysphoria reasons).

I know everyone's body is different and I spoke with my doctor about options and will continue to do so, but I'm mostly looking for any anecdotes that might give me some hope. I'm feeling pretty hopeless right now, like I have to choose between these shitty side effects and debilitating cramps.

Thanks in advance
