Good evening..
Wait for 2/3 , as cramps have started more likely you will get your period soon and also as u took precaution.
If u don’t get periods after 1 week then get a pregnancy test.
Because of decreased mobility during this Covid period or mild weight gain or stress can also cause hormonal imbalance - which lead to delay in periods . So don’t worry and wait for few days.
Next Steps
You can take Dolo or Paracetamol tablet if the leg cramps are not bearable. And get pregnancy test if no periods for more than a week.
Health Tips
Eat healthy and diet control food, exercise or walk for half n hour morning and evening.. which balances everything.
