Tonight my girlfriend of 8 months told me that she may be pregnant. I am having mixed emotions with this news. She described her last period was about 9 weeks ago, but it was unusually light with no severe stomach cramps. We have not had sex since. She is very concern as her period is very very late. Off the shelf pregnancy tests (expensive ones) returned negative results, three times over the past 3 weeks. I don't understand how this could happen as I took precautions. However the condom box did say it is not 100% effective against pregnancy, STIs, etc.

She spoke about how when she was in her 20s she had no periods for 8 months. This was down to a cyst that contributed to her not able to have periods. I don't understand this. We did wonder if the cyst came back. What is this cyst?

For both our peace of mind she is going to contact a midwife. We need to know.

Our relationship has been somewhat rocky for the past 2-3 weeks. We are not sure where our relationship is going. In my thoughts, I did consider telling her that I we should break up, but the pregnancy news put a stop to it.

She is from Greece of Greek Orthodox religion and has been living here in the United Kingdom for 19 months now. I am a Roman Catholic. I'm thinking of the complications now.

I'm not sure why I am writing this. I am reaching out to this community, in a hope that someone can give me their experience. What should I consider doing next?

99,99999999% she is not pregnant.
She had a cyst, hence she has PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome). That's a condition you have for life and it doesn't go away. Sometimes it gets resolved on its own but that's rare and not even doctors don't know why it is caused and there is no cure. It is just treatable.
One of the symptoms is irregular periods or missing her periods. Also women who had cysts tend to be less fertile than the ones who never had any issues.
A missing period, even on a very healthy woman is not a sign that she is pregnant. She might be stressed or some other silly factor.
It is unlikely that after all these precautions you took and her issues that she is pregnant.
A home pregnancy test after 9 weeks of a missing test is very accurate.
Also what's up with her religion? Why do you mention it? Greek Christian Orthodox church is pretty much the same like Church of England. It is just in greek and they don't sing the same songs at the church.

My guess is that because your relationship was rocky, she pulled the "I might be pregnant" card to keep you from breaking up from her.

You guys haven't had sex since her last period 9 weeks ago? Why?

And has anyone taken a pregnancy test or been to a doctor to find out for sure before you guys start tripping out and making internet post about it?
