Hi,
Cramping is quite common during menstrual periods and is known as dysmenorrhea. You can take analgesics like mefenamic acid for pain relief. Cramping is not a sign of pregnancy and you can go for a urine pregnancy test for reassurance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
