Well my girlfriend has had 2 periods already this month. she has been on a birth control pill. she missed a couple of days. also we have had sex alot. is it possible she could be pregnant ??

Sure : birth-control pills only work if you take them every day as directed. If you miss bills then bleeding will occur. Also if you missed bills you cannot be assured that they are protecting you against pregnancy. Consider starting a non-daily form of birth control like an IUD
