Is Back Pain And Cramping Due To Possible Pregnancy Or Delayed Period?
2 days before my period was due a got period like cramps an back pain ( back pain I had already a week before Af due). I am 7 days late with cramping and strong back pain ( for the last 10 days). Sometimes I could swear I would get AF any minute( but then I don't) A had negative pregnancy test 3 days after AF due. Does it looks like possible pregnancy or just late period?

Hello,
These symptoms are not specific for pregnancy nor they are always associated with delayed period.
More commonly such symptoms are seen with ovarian cyst or PID.
Ideal would be wait for few days to see if you get period, if they fail to come then get USG and pregnancy test done.
