Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy. If your partner has been taking her birth control pills correctly and consistently, then she would be protected. It can take a woman’s body 3-4 months to become adjusted to being on the pills. When first beginning the pills, women may experience irregular bleeding or spotting. Periods may be slightly irregular, occurring earlier or later than usual. It can be common to not have bleeding during the first cycle of sugar pills. A regular period should begin during the second cycle. However, if you had unprotected sex prior to her pills becoming effective, then pregnancy is a possibility.
It would be a good idea for your partner to contact her doctor or clinic to discuss her concerns and to have a pregnancy test.
