Can Delayed Period And Cramping Be Symptoms Of Pregnancy?
Hello okay I've been having unprotected sex for about a month now. Right after the first time I had my period a week later. I'm supposed to start tomorrow an I've been cramping. I took a pee test today and it was negative but I've been having discharge and spotted a few times on and off. Cpuld I be pregnant?

Hi,
It is too early to detect pregnancy through a urine test. To detect it early, you should get the serum beta-hCG values assessed. This is a definite confirmation as it is sensitive as well as specific. Your symptoms could be premenstrual as well and they are not specific for pregnancy. Please see a specialist if you test positive for pregnancy or if you miss your period for further evaluation and suggestions. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
