Hello and welcome to HCM,
Positive pregnancy tests followed by bleeding and then negative pregnancy test is suggestive of missed abortion.
The abdominal cramps are common during the process of abdominal cramps.
However, if the cramps are still continuing, it can be due to retained products of conception.
Thus, I suggest you to consult your gynaecologist for clinical assessment and investigations like ultrasound of pelvis to see the status of uterus and its contents.

Thanks and take care
