My girlfriend and me had known each other around 6 month before we started going out. when we started seeing each other we had sex around 3 weeks after being boyfriend and girlfriend. The first time we did it she was not on the pill but she got on it a few days later. I did not use any condoms or anything. We kept on having sex with her on the pill but in her 7 days without taking the pill she did not bleed. Does this mean she is preg? We also did a preg test which came up negative. please help we are sooo confused Thankyou

Some women don't bleed in the pill free week and aren't pregnant, but you were very wise to do a pregnancy test. Your girlfriend should have started to take the pill on the first day of her period. This would have ensured that she wasn't already pregnant when she started the pill. If you are both confident that she wasn't already pregnant before she started to take the pill, it is probably safe to wait, but to repeat the pregnancy test in another week or two. If you are worried then go and see a nurse, your Gp or a family planning clinic for further advice as taking the pill can conceal an early pregnancy.
