She might : She might however but if you guys are having sex make sure that you were using extra protection and do a pregnancy test.

CONTRACEPTION: Probably. by now she has begun menstruating and unprotected intercourse this late in the cycle will not likely result in pregnancy. However, BCPs are only near 100% effective IF TAKEN AS DIRECTED, I she forgets frequently, perhaps another, albeit less effective, contraceptive should be considered.
