Question
I always use a condom, and my girlfriend is on the pill. (though I don't know what brand) She stopped taking the pill (we have NOT had sex since then) and had what she described as a "mini-peroid" Its been 26 days since then (she varies from 24 to 34 days)and she has not had her peroid. Its been 35 days since her last "Real peroid". Is she pregnant or do we not have to worry? Shes getting a pregnancy test just in case.

Answer
Hi Buck,

When women go off the pill, it takes some time to adjust. Some women will take 6 months or more to get back on a regular cycle. The "mini period"  you describe is very common among women who stop taking the pill.

If you haven't had sex since her last "real period", than she can't possibly be pregnant. If you have, she should take a pregnancy test just to be sure.

Good Luck to you and Thanks,

Drea Jean
