Alright, so my girlfriend and I have been dating for 11 months. I'm 19 and she's 17. We recently made the decision to have sex. We had sex in early October and she got her period afterwards and then went on the pill. We're aware that it usually takes about a month for the pill to start being effective.This past weekend she visited me at school, and we got very ahead of ourselves and had sex multiple times over the course of the weekend. I wore a condom and pulled out every time, and although she is on the pill, it hadn't been a full month since she started. She says she was supposed to get her period last Monday, but it's now Wednesday and she still hasn't gotten it. We're worried that she may have missed her period and is pregnant. What I want to know is: is it normal/believable that she would be up to week late with her period? I would really appreciate to know. Thank you.

GF's Period missed or just late?

It's quite normal for the period to be screwy the first few months.

You had sex with a condom on, then pulled out. That alone is good chances shes not pregnant. The pill is probably just messing with her cycle until it gets all sorted out.

Thanks a lot for the reassurance guys. I really don't know anything about periods, or the effect of the pill. We're both just kinda paranoid about this whole thing.

the fear of not having here period can help contribute to a late one as well. my girlfriend was about a week and a half late once, we found out eventually that it was most likely do to stress and a late period adds to that stress.

It's pretty much guaranteed that she is not pregnant from what you have said!! I had bizarre periods when I first started on the pill, give it a few months before it settles down. You're fine! Are you planning on still using condoms while she is on the pill?
