Hi thanks for contacting health care magic...
Here you are having spotting and abdominal cramping, so you are suspecting pregnancy..
In pregnancy period is delayed ...
To confirm pregnancy blood or urine HCG estimation done ...
It comes positive 3 week and 5 week respectively after last LMP.
If HCG elevated than USG done for final confirmation...
If pregnancy not present than pelvic examination done to search for cause.
Take care
Advise : consult gynecologist for examination
