What Causes Cramping & Bowel Movements?
My period came on the 3rd of Nov. My friend and I had sex without a condom but he did put one on after 20 min. on the 12th, 13th, or 14. I had some cramping in my lower abdomen on the left side I had a bowel movement and the pain increased. Then I had sharp cramping again on and off and lower back pain. what could this be a sign of?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the cramping might not be related to pregnancy.Usually the symptoms of pregnancy like nausea,vomitings,increased urination,sore breasts start 2 weeks after missed period.And the first sign of pregnancy is missed period.I suggest you to do a urine pregnancy test if the period is missed..The test needs to be done a week after missed period for accurate results.The cramps and bowel movement can be due to stomach infection.Avoid spicy and oily diet.Take plenty of fluids upto 3 litre per day and electrol powder.If the infection persists you might need a antibiotics course.So relax.Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
