Suggest Treatment For Stomach Cramps And Lower Back Pain
I ve had light stomach cramping, lower back pain, nausea (no vomiting), muscle cramps, slight breast tenderness, and brown spotting for the past week almost. I thought it was just symptoms of my period, but it was due two days ago and hasn t come. I haven t had a late period since I started getting them at the age of 13, I am 19 now. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex about a month ago now, could I be pregnant?

Hi,
Pregnancy tests are accurate when done 10 days after missing the period or at least one to two weeks after you had sex. If you are pregnant, your body needs time to develop detectable levels of Human chorionic gonadotropin.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
