Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Plan-B?

Could my girlfriend be pregnant? My girlfriend is on birth control and she had been on birth control for 2 months when we last had sex. We didn t use a condom so she took plan b along with birth control. She was supposed to have her period two weeks later but didn t. We thought it was because of the hormonos. So we waited for the next month and she continued to take her birth control. She took 3 pregnancy test in the morning during that month and they all came out to be negative. She didn t have her period. So we waited another month and she continued with her birth control. She took two more pregnancy test and till said negative. She is supposed to start yesterday according to her birth control but has not yet. She has not been feeling nauseous or being peeing more than the usual. She does not feel any difference in her body. Just stress

Hello,

I think you are worrying too much for probably no reason. As you mentioned that your girlfriend has already been on birth control pills and even then she took plan B although it was not required.

The pregnancy test were also negative so why are you worrying so much?

So far as her periods are concerned,it is not unusual for the periods to be irregular when someone is on birth control pills and you should also remember that she also took plan B.

Levonorgestrel which is the principal ingredient of an emergency contraceptive pill may cause changes in menstrual periods. So I suggest please wait for another week or two.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
