It could be stress, if she misses her period she can take a pregnancy test, or she can get a blood test done to be sure.....
Other pregnancy symptoms is....
No menstrual period
Although this is not proof positive, absence of your menstrual cycle is a good indicator of pregnancy.
Fatigue and sleepiness
For many women, fatigue is the first symptom of pregnancy. If you suddenly find yourself needing an afternoon nap, you could be pregnant.
Breast changes
Along with fatigue, breast changes are possibly the earliest sign of pregnancy. Breast changes include fullness, tenderness, sensitivity to touch, change in size, and darkening of the areola.
Nausea and vomiting
Nausea and vomiting, also known as morning sickness, is another symptom of pregnancy. Not all women experience morning sickness and morning sickness may not occur until two to four weeks after a missed period. Generally, morning sickness resolves or improves in the second trimester.
Frequent urination
Once you become pregnant, your blood volume increases and your kidneys increase in size. These factors can lead to an increase in urination.
Fullness, bloating, achiness in the abdominal area
Believe it or not for many women the symptoms of pregnancy mimic the symptoms of PMS. If you are experiencing PMS symptoms, don't rule out the possibility of pregnancy.
Mood swings and irritability
Hormonal changes combined with fatigue may cause mood swings and irritability. If you find yourself incredibly crabby this could be a sign of pregnancy. Keep in mind, however, that crabbiness is also a sign of PMS.
Other common signs of pregnancy include an increase in vaginal secretions, aversion to certain foods or smells, weight gain, and constipation.
Less common signs of pregnancy
Implantation bleeding
An estimated twenty percent of women will experience bleeding when the fertilized egg implants into the uterus. Implantation bleeding is typically light in color and amount and generally occurs six to ten days past ovulation.
Headaches
For women that suffer from headaches, pregnancy usually decreases the frequency of headaches. For some, however, there will be a marked increase in the amount of headaches during pregnancy.

It could be just side effects from the patch. I don't really know what the failure rate is for the patch, but it is possible that she could be pregnant. Or it could just be stress, what with the move and starting grad school and all.
Your girlfriend is right to be worried about putting on a new patch if she could be pregnant - she needs to go to her dr and get a blood test to be absolutely sure, because it sounds like it is too soon for her to be able to use a home pregnancy test.
Good luck.

Shocked is most often an irony. I believe it is hurtful of alternative men and women to mention 'recover from it', whenever you lose anybody you care approximately it is rough, although it is via a get a divorce. This is anybody you'll be able to need to manage for the leisure of your lifestyles and it'll take time to paintings through it. But, you do have 2 toddlers you'll now pour your entire time and vigor into, that are meant to be a blessing. They can maintain your brain and your arms busy even as you're looking to mend your middle. I desire you discover a few peace along with your drawback and I believe the therapist is a satisfactory proposal! Use the heck outta that therapist. Good Luck.

I know several people who have gotten pregnant on the patch. She can test now, but if it's negative take a another test around the time her period is due.

Could be nerves, stress, maybe pregnancy...to rule out pregnancy, wait until she is late and have her take a home pregnancy test (only if she is late though) and tell her to stop worrying!!

sounds like she could be stressing over nothing, however leave it a few days and get an early detection pregnancy test and try it out - then she will know and hopefully calm down

Sorry, but the only thing that you can do is wait.
If her period shows up, then all is well, but you should buy a pregnancy test just incase.
