What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy While On Birth Control Injection?

My girlfriend takes the shot birth control and we have unprotected sex all the time but I have never actually ejaculated in her, I m sure there has been pre cum. She is currently close to a week late on her period or a little longer, she has had 2 shots so far, I heard that it takes a while for the period to set regularly, should we be concerned, may she be pregnant?

Hi.

You should know that menstrual irregularities can ensue as a result of birth control, and so an irregularity could have occurred because of the birth control that your partner is on, so wait for another week or so, and if she doesn't have her period then go ahead with a urine pregnancy test using an early morning urine sample.

But in my opinion, it seems unlikely to me.

Best wishes.
