Can Bactrim Cause Abdominal Pains?

I'm seventeen, 5'7, and I have a healthy medical history. Recently, I developed UTI and I'm taking Bactrim for it. I'm also scared that I may be pregnant. I have been having like sporadic, few second abdominal pains, but that's pretty much it. Could that be from the Bactrim or something else?
