Pregnancy scare
Me and my girlfriend have been going out for about 3-4 months and having sex for around 2 months, yet just recently she has felt cravings for sugar, weird stomac aches, shorter period and less blood and has developed more of a thirst. She has already taken a pregnancy test which has come up negative but we still don't know if it was too early, are the pregnancy tests reliable and accurate all the time? even if it is early? I'm 16 and my girlfriend is 18, as you could guess, my girlfriend being pregnant at this time is not very suitable, please answer back.

These symptoms could be from a lot of reasons - including that your girlfriend could be worrying a lot about the possibility of being pregnant. If she has missed a period, various pregnancy tests are accurate at different stages. This includes tests that are accurate as soon as a period is missed.
If no period has been missed, then she should go see her doctor to put her mind at rest. They might repeat a pregnancy test, but they might also look at other things that are related to thirst, sugar, etc. These symptoms could mean your girlfriend has a medical condition, and it's best to rule that out.
If she is given the all-clear, then perhaps she might want to think about the relation between mind and body. If she is worrying often about pregnancy, her body might start reacting. Also, things she might never notice will seem to really stand out because of her worry.
This could mean she isn't feeling comfortable with sex in this relationship, and that could be related to pregnancy. If you aren't using two forms of birth control (such as a condom and birth control pill/patch/etc) that will help to put her mind at rest.
Best of luck.
