Hi,
Im worried that my gf might be pregnant.. Here's a lil info..
She last got he period around the 28th of feb which lasted till around the 6-7th..
She hasn't got it since then.. She has been under a lot of stress lately with exams and problems at home..
We did have protected sex a couple of times in the past few weeks..(used a condom). I don't think it's possible, but we really really freaking out..
Im hoping it's just stress...
Im not sure the above information made any sense.. Any idea's or info would be really appreciated..
Thanks...
I found out when I was younger that stress can very easily make you not have your period. In high school, I would get stressed over grades and such and I would go 2 or 3 months at a time without my period. So, it's highly possible that it could be from stress. Also, a pregnancy test would be helpful, I think. But sera and brandye and eek and dancingdoc would be more able to help
Welcome to the SI101 Board and its Forums.
Questions:
1. How old is your girlfriend?
2. Does she have history of regular cycles?
3. Are her cycles still irregular?
Here is a quote from Brandye, our resident M.D: "Get two pregnancy tests, of different brands, and do them exactly as the instructions tell you at least twelve hours apart."

This is really not practicing "safe sex". If you read around the site you'll find many instances in which several of us recommend using at least two forms of contraceptives and three is really ideal for "safer/safest" sex.
Teens and women in their early twenties are the most prone to become pregnant. Using just a condom or just the pill/patch or other highly reliable form of contraception is inadequate. "Safe sex" is looking out for and protecting #1--each of you individually. You should never rely solely upon your partner for your protection.
* If you are unable or unprepared to be an unwed father and care for a child,and to have the future course of your life changed, then you should use a condom and add spermicide to the inside reservoir.
* If she is unable or unprepared to be an unwed mother and care for a child and to have the future course of her life changed, then she should be using the Pill, patch, or other form of highly reliable contraceptive.
* Together, the two of you should add a third line of protection by using a spermicide inside the vagina.

2. Im not sure as it keeps changing.. 3-4 months it's on time and then suddenly the date changes..
Thanks for the protection info..will follow it from now onwards..
So pregnancy tests are required..? or should she just visit a doc..?
We recommend for women not using hormonal contraception that vaginal spermicide be used. The condom plu vaginal jelly gives about the same protection as being on the pill. Condoms alone are not nearly as effective.
It seems that your g/f is just over two weeks late. The pregnancy tests should be done as soon as you can purchase them and be prepared for a visit to the doctor. Only she, evidently, knows how regular her menstrual cycles are. It is quite common for women to be irregular or have changes every few months but two weeks is outside the usual limits of variability.
Hopefully, you two have some plans made as to what happens in the case of pregnancy.
I just hope it's not.. im really worried..
And i don't know if this makes any sense..but just before i ejaculated i used to pull out every time..

Please read the third paragraph of my reply posted in this thread from a few days ago.
Pulling out is not a reliable form of birth control!
It's negative...
Any other reasons ?
> It's negative...
Are you referring to the two tests?
> Any other reasons ?
What do you mean?

you said that you are worried, if you think it`s a serious matter. i think she should visit a doc..
May she is in depression. If she any type of tension then the period cycle has been changed. If you can use precaution doing sex so there is no problem with her but you first of all you can meet and check up the doctor. Because all type of precaution not totally secure.
