Could she be pregnant?

I just wanted to hear some feedback from those who know more about this than I do. First of all, any time my girlfriend and I have sex we ALWAYS use three bc methods: she is on the pill (and takes it regularly and on time), I use a condom, and we use the withdrawal method (pulling out). I guess I just worry to much, but its coming time for her period again and I am just wondering what all of you think the chances of her being pregnant are?

The real reason I ask is because she has been under alot of stress this month (but not within the past few days). I have heard that stress can cause a missed or very light period and I was just wanting to basically "rule out" pregnancy if she were to miss her period.

Again, we have NEVER had unprotected sex since her last period (and really never before her last one either). Oh and she had blood work done a few weeks ago bc of some problems she was having, The doctor asked her if she suspected pregnancy so I'm wondering if he didn't check for that in the bloodwork?

Thank you for any help!

jc84 is correct. If a post is bothersome, annoying, etc. you do not need to respond. Let's please be courteous and give everyone the benefit of doubt.

ok thanks

But if i'm annoying, you don't have to respond. I just like to hear what ppl have to say.

I'll do my best to just not worry, but worrying is my nature. That's with everything, work and staying in school included.

Again, i'm sorry. Thank you all

it's not that  you're bothersome.....it's not that you care too much......it's just that you're using 3 birth control methods AT ONE TIME, so if she gets pregnant, expect it to be a MIRACLE BABY, cos jeez, i've NEVER heard of someone getting preg using ur bc methods.....i've dated a guy before who would still pull out WEARING A CONDOM, and i was on bc, needless to say i didnt even care of my period was late, cos there was pretty much  A ZERO or less than 1% chance i was pregnant?

and you keep asking, that is what is annoying, because you ask every month......obviously after all these months, you're taking the measures you need to, so feel rested and assured you're doing fine.....with the way you say ya'll do things, i would not worry untill she MISSES A FULL PERIOD, as in she's more than 2 weeks late.....

Forgive me. Sorry, I didnt know i was a bother. Considering that most guys dont care, I thought I was doing good. It's whatever though, I must care to much.

Btw, if we had a kid, I'm not going to just leave her like it was the end of the world. I just like being prepared.

and she got her period on time. Sorry for bothering you all.

You have asked the question every month since like January. If you don't want your girlfriend to get pregnant and you don't think that 3 types of birth control are going to prevent that then maybe you shouldn't be having sex. I'm not trying to be mean but the odds have always been about 0 and every time you've asked its pretty much the same question revised. Even with 3 types of birth control accidents can happen. Its few an far between but we aren't psychic and the answer will always be the same. If she misses her period have her take a test if its negative retest in a week if still no period after that week and still negative have her go to the doctor and get a blood test. Sorry there isn't anything else we can do... here's a fun link that you might want to read about suspecting pregnancy.

I doubt she is pregnant.stress can affect the body,generally though this wouldnt be the cause of a late period,late periods if not due to pregnancy are usually due to late ovulation.if you are worried,and she does not get her period,then ask her to take a pregnancy test.

i don't really think there is much of a chance of her being pregnant as you use 3 types of bc. if she takes the pill religiously and you use a condom all the time. she more than likely is not. i wouldn't worry too much.
