I had unprotected sex on April 6th and my girlfriend's last period started on March 8th. She's 21 and really doesn't want to be pregnant. It's April 13th now and her period still hasn't started. We're both worried. What should we do?

Firstly what you need to do is quit having sex with her this way. If she doesn't want to be pregnant and you don't want to take any responsibility, then why don't you use condom? Take her to a gynaecologist in person for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing nausea, cramps, fatigue, and headaches six days after having intercourse and taking the i-pill. I'm really worried and wondering if these are side effects of the i-pill or if they could be early signs of pregnancy. Could you help me understand what's going on?

The symptoms you're experiencingnausea, cramps, fatigue, and headacheare likely side effects of the i-pill, as it contains a high dose of hormones that can cause such reactions. However, to rule out pregnancy, consider taking a urine pregnancy test if your period is delayed. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
