Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Abdominal cramps alone might not be sufficient to say that you could be pregnant.
Signs associated with pregnancy include nausea, dizziness, vomiting and delay in periods.
Experiencing abdominal cramps could be also due to premenstrual symptom.
Kindly wait and in case you miss your periods, get your urine tested for pregnancy to confirm.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
