What Causes Left Sided Abdominal Pain?

Hello I am currently 5 days late and began having these dull cramps in my abdomen few days before my period should have started and then 2 days after it should have started. Then the pain shifted to a combo of sharp and dull left sided pain. I have taken 3 hpt (one on the missed day and one two days after and the third yesterday ) all neg. Am I pregnant with hcg hormones that are too low to be detected? If so should I wait another week to test or is it too early to get a blood test? If this isn't a preg what else is wrong?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Repeat the test after 5 days( you are already late by 5 days).
There can be another reasons like enteritis or ovarian pain and so on.
It there are no other symptoms, wait and watch.
You may take a symptomatic treatment like anti-spasmodic tablets if the pain is unbearable.
It there is development of further symptoms like distension, loose motion , fever etc, get a clinical opinion and treatment.
