Hi,
Thanks for your query.
You can go for home urine pregnancy test, if it comes negative you should consult a gynecologist for urine, blood test and ultrasonography to rule out pregnancy.
These delayed periods and abdominal cramps may be because of hormonal changes also.
Hope I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help.
GOOD LUCK.
Take care.
