Hello,
thanks for using health care magic.

Three months is not good enough to be worry about not being pregnant yet. Only a slightly greater than 60% of women with effetive sexual intercourse become pregnant after a year of effective intercourse.

You and your partner should be on good diet, good psychological state of mind and practice effective sexual intercourse which is having intercourse at least four times each week (every other day with the days spread out during the week).

You might consider meeting your doctor for regular follow up and guidance but for now with only three months of trying, there is no problem per se.

Pregnancy test can only become positive after missing a period or around the time you are expecting your menses. It can not become positive immediately after having sex or so unless you were previously pregnant.

Lower abdominal cramping and frequent urination could be possible in pregnancy but at a little advance stage and not at an early stage. You should get tested for a UTI.

Hope this helps you.
Best regards
