So, here’s the situation—my girlfriend and I had sex about three days after her period ended. Now, her cycle is running two days late, which is unusual because she’s typically incredibly regular; we haven't dealt with any delays in the last ten months. She’s also complaining about some cramping in her lower abdomen—just below the navel, really—and some slight tenderness in her breasts. Look, I’m certainly no medical expert when it comes to women's health, but I’m asking around because the whole thing is just weighing on my mind—we’re both only 19, and frankly, having a kid is the absolute last thing on our radar right now. We didn't use a condom because she was under the impression that the window 2–4 days after a period ends is a safe zone.
We actually went ahead and took a pregnancy test sometime this afternoon, and it came back negative.
I’d be interested to hear what you all think about this.

P.S. In case it wasn't crystal clear, I'm her boyfriend.
