Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1 ) First of all do not panic.

2 ) As you have mentioned that you are expecting your periods in a weeks time, I will suggest you to wait for your expected date of the cycle.

As it is too early to expect and or detect the pregnancy

3 ) If you happen to cross your expected date of the cycle then please get morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy.
In case of doubt blood beta HCG test and USG will be of help.

4 ) You can take simple analgesic like paracetamol as needed to control your pain.

Abdominal pain and breast symptoms Will be suggestive of pregnancy only if there is a missing period.

The spotting that you are getting can be due to implantation bleeding. .

5 ) If I was your treating doctor, I will suggest you to opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products and refined sugars. Avoid substance abuse if any. Start on Folic acid, Vitamin B 12 and Omega 3 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to get pregnant. This helps to prevent many problems during the pregnancy.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
