Hello,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I carefully read your question and understand your concern.
if your girlfriend had a late period recently she needs to repeat the pregnancy test even though she had negative ones the other times the periods were late. it is good you are using condoms, it helps is pregnancy prevention but is not 100% effective and pregnancy is still a risk even though a very small risk, this is why is good to have a pregnancy test for delayed periods even if you regularly use condoms.
If pregnancy test is negative and she still has no periods than repeat pregnancy test every 3-4 days.
Sometimes periods might get irregular and delayed. Pregnancy is a common cause of a delayed period that is why we have to do the pregnancy test but is not the only cause.
Your girlfriend should have a visit with a doctor so she can find why her periods are irregular.
Many times it might be stress related or other causes that is why it is good to have a visit, being evaluated and being reassured.
Hope this is helpful and answers to your question.
