Hello and welcome to HCM,
Cramps with diarrhea are not suggestive of pregnancy.
Cramps with diarrhea are more suggestive of gastrointestinal upset.
Gastrointestinal upset can be due to infection.
Thus, I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and prescription of antibiotic for gastrointestinal upset.
Menstrual cycles can get delayed in healthy menstruating women so there is nothing to worry.
However, mid cycle cramping and spotting can occur and this is due to ovulation.
Tiredness is not a symptom of pregnancy but tiredness can occur if you are having anemia or low hemoglobin.
Thus, complete hemogram is also suggested to check the hemoglobin levels.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
