Not pregnant: If she is on the 6th day of her period, she is not pregnant. If you want to confirm, you can do a home pregnancy test.

Unlikely: Young teens often do not ovulate ( release an egg) with each cycle and this can lead to excessive buildup of uterine material that will take longer to loose. Longer cycles also occasionally occur in normal cycles. This lengthy period is never a sign of pregnancy.
