Re: My gf's period is late, lots of school work -

I understand that taking the test can be scary, but remind her that delaying the finding out does not delay the answer. She is theoretically pregnant or not pregnant either way, and her delaying the pregnancy test only limits your options and any care she can receive early on. Perhaps you can offer to pay for the test, and be with her during the testing process.
Have you two talked about your plan if she is pregnant? You obviously mentioned some of the complications it'd cause for her in her IB schoolwork, but have you discussed this in more detail with her? This may be something that you want to do either before or after the pregnancy test. Would she want to keep the baby? Would you help out with driving her to these appointments? Would you two want to consider adoption, or potentially abortion if pregnancy is not something she wants to endure during her last year? The most important thing is that you make a choice that is right for both of you. I'd recommend having a thorough conversation about options, particularly if the pregnancy test comes up positive.
I'm not going to "preach you out" for not using protection; you are already dealing with the consequences, and we all make mistakes. Trust me. But I'd highly recommend that if come a negative result, you make a gameplan for sex in the future with your girlfriend. I'd research birth control options and come up with a protection plan that is right for you as a couple. Perhaps you can start using condoms, she can get on birth control, or a combination of both! I'd check out this source for all the diffeerent strategies, and you can make a risk assessment that is right for you.
something burning?
