Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad you reached out to us and your girlfriend is planning to take a pregnancy test.
If she had a normal period following unprotected intercourse, and has not had sex since, I doubt pregnancy is the reason for a delayed period. Stress, lifestyle changes such as increased exercising, and illness can cause a delay.
Hopefully you will receive this reply before she tests. For the most accurate result, she must test first thing in the morning when she urinates upon waking up. Also, buy an early response test.
