Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Take a test: If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available at any pharmacy. If she stopped taking birth control this would trigger vaginal bleeding.

Do a home pregnancy: Do a home pregnancy test. That would tell you if she's pregnant or not. Best wishes Dr M
