Hello,

If you had unprotected intercourse, the symptoms can be related to pregnancy. I recommend to wait a week. If you don't have your period, I recommend to do a pregnancy test. Meanwhile,I suggest using spasmolytics to relieve the abdominal pain.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
