My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex on August 26th, and her period was supposed to start on August 29th. She is now 3 days late, and she can be irregular sometimes. I am wondering if she might be pregnant, considering she has had three miscarriages before and might have a harder time conceiving. She has tender breasts, mild cramps, and has been more sleepy, but no morning sickness. She vomited once after eating, but feels better now. She is not on any regular medications.
