Hi.

Abdominal cramps are not a conclusive symptom indicating towards any one issue/condition. But if there was a history of unprotected sexual contact then I would recommend a home pregnancy test to be conducted using an early morning urine sample to be conducted on or after the second day of a missed period.

If pregnancy is ruled out then it would be wise to visit a doctor to check on other causes like hormonal imbalances, gastrointestinal conditions, etc.

Best wishes.
