well ... I had horrible pain, cramping, and lots of bleeding. But I also got diagnosed with endometriosis approx four months after stopping the pill, so I'm not exactly typical.
If you didn't have problems before you went on the pill, you probably won't have problems now. Menstruation is also a lot worse in your teens, so even if you did have problems back then, it's likely you won't have them now, or they may be greatly reduced.
If you're only stopping the pill because of money, have you thought about going to Planned Parenthood or a women's clinic? When I was a dirt-poor student I went to PP -- I picked Ortho Tri-Cyclen (kinda at random because it was the most visually appealing of the pill packages the doctor was holding up), and it cost me $5 for a pack.
I don't know what Mircette is like, but I've switched BC types and the only one that threw me for a loop was the Depo Provera shot. Going from the pill to the patch, to the patch to the pill, or from one type of pill to a different formula didn't cause any noticeable difference.
