So that you and your gf can relax, let me explain. A woman's menstrual period is when the uterine lining is shed after fertilization and implantation did not occur. This prepares her body for the next cycle. Pregnancy tests are not accurate until seven days after a missed period, so the tests you took were useless since she got her period. Use contraception to avoid unwanted pregnancies.

Use contraceptive all the time, every time.
