Can Cramping And Bloating Be Symptoms Of Pregnancy?
Last month I missed 4 birth control pills and had unprotected sex almost every week. I took a test a week and a half ago, it was negative. Last Friday I started having bad cramps which I took to be my period since I was supposed to start Saturday. Today is Friday, I'm still having cramps on and off still no period either . Wednesday I took another test which was also negative. Yesterday I had a clump of thick brown discharge, just one little spot and that was it. My question is do you think I took the tests too early? I feel pregnant with all the cramping and bloating . What is going on?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your symptoms may be due to pregnancy.Urine pregnancy test may be negative in early days due to less amount of HCG in urine .
You can repeat urine test after 4-5 days.
However Ultrasound of pelvis the investigation of choice for confirmation of pregnancy.
Get well soon.
Hope i have answered your query.
