My girlfriend has been complaining of a persistant headache for the past three days and mild tiredness. Also she just started her period on last saturday and we thought she was done with her period around wednesday but she says it kinda started again around wed. or thursday and its still bleeding a week later because its now the next saturday. However, its also the start of summer and her sleep patterns have been out of wack. she goes to bed around 3am or 4am and goes to work around 10am. also, shes a big coffee drinker and has cut back on it the past weeks. i dont know if her headaches are from caffeine withdrawals and lack of sleep or if all the described symptoms or due to pregnancy or if its even something else for the bleeding. also, shes been kinda stressed out for being an incoming freshman for college and shes late with her registration papers and having some family problems so maybe its stress, but i dont know. please help.

sounds like a combo of things. Mainly stress, no sleep and cutting back on caffeine.
She needs to see a doctor though for the bleeding.

It would be a good idea for her to take a pregnancy test. You can buy perfectly accurate ones at the dollar store. Make sure that she takes it when she wakes up after sleeping (or not urinating) for at least two hours. Even if it is negative, she really should go to the doctor since these are symptoms that she doesn't normally have.
About headaches: I get headaches all the time, but if I drink alot of water, they normally go away, she may be dehydrated.
Know that stress does have a way of changing menstrual cycles (hence-the conception of our child!), so don't worry until she takes the test AND goes to the doctor. Best wishes!

Stress and your mind can cause you to have pregnancy symptoms. Stress can cause your period to be late. The best way to know, go get an over the counter pregancy test and take it. If you are pregnant, you won't need to wait until the AM to take the test and it will turn positive right away.

Caffeine is bad! is a bad habit! you cut on it and welcome migranes and non stop headaches, her stressfull way of life is definitely affecting her body. Our bodies tell us when we are abusing them and she needs to immediately do something about it. A simple pregnancy test will determine wether she is pregnant or not, but I think that she needs to rest.
