Shorter Period. Had Unprotected Sex, Negative Pregnancy Tests. Under Stress. Is Stress Causing Shorter Period?
My girlfriend is on birth control. We had unprotected sex on June 20th. She had her period last week but it only lasted less than a day. She took a pregnancy test today and it came back negative. She has been really stressed out the past couple of weeks. Could she still be pregnant, or is it the stress causing the short period?

hi,
thank you for using health care magic
well it is very much possible that periods were short because of stress.. even if she is engaged in heavy physical activity like gym or anything it can cause short period but your girl friend took pregnancy test today which was negative right.. but some times it can show falls negative in this early period so will suggest you to be aware take test again next week for confermation
