Should I Take A Pregnancy Test After Having Lower Abdominal Cramps And When Period Is Not Due?
I have the implanon and it expired in November 2013. My husband and I have had unprotected sex for about 3 weeks and now I m having dull lower abdominal cramps on the middle and left side, my period isn t due until around March 6th. Should I take a pregnancy test or wait to see if I get my period?

Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
It will be difficult to detect pregnancy by urine test till you miss period.
Besides cramps are indicative of period rather than a pregnancy.
Wait till missed period to do the test. If you are anxious then you can take the blood test for pregnancy.
Thanks
