Hello TB
Thank you for your question and for taking responsibility for your girlfriend's possible pregnancyPregnancy is the time between the fusion of sperm and egg and the birth of the baby, which normally lasts around 9 months. The first sign of pregnancy is the absence of menstrual bleeding, which would otherwise occur regularly..
The best thing for her to do first is to take a pregnancy testA pregnancy test is a medical test that can confirm pregnancy. It determines whether there are hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. The test can therefore help to confirm a pregnancy safely and quickly using simple methods.. You can buy these in drugstores, pharmacies and larger grocery stores. However, discuss together beforehand what you can do if the test is positive. This could be, for example, contacting a family planning center or pregnancy advice center. Here you will receive comprehensive and free advice and support. You can also contact them before taking a pregnancy test and have the test carried outOuting, outing: To out someone is to disclose a person's gender identity and/or sexual orientation to another person or group against his/her will. under supervision. These services are free of charge and, of course, confidentiality is mandatory. AbortionAbortion refers to the premature termination of a pregnancy. This procedure can be carried out in Switzerland during the first twelve weeks after the start of the last period. After this period of 12 weeks, abortion is only legally possible... is permitted in Switzerland up to the 12th week of pregnancy. You can also talk to a specialist about this at one of the contact points mentioned above.
There can be various reasons why you don't menstruate, but you can only be sure with a test.
I wish you both good luck.
