Maybe unrelated, but: It can be hard to tell if a woman is pregnant because some of the symptoms seen in early pregnancy can also happen in non-pregnant women. A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result if done correctly. One can test about 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. An Ob-Gyn doctor can evaluate any persistent or worrisome symptoms.

Not typically: Pregnant women often complain of backache but this is usually in the 3rd trimester. 'Stomach ache' usually means upper abdominal pain - this is not a sign of early pregnancy for most. If your abdominal pain is lower down then maybe it is period pain? Severe lower abdominal pain in early pregnancy should be evaluated for a possible ectopic pregnancy.

Might be: And if so urgently need to rule out serious such as ectopic. Recommend pregnancy test urgently and if positive seek medical attention fast
