Missed periods, 16-year-old

My daughter has missed three periods. She's been pretty regular since she was 13... She had a bit of exam stress with GCSEs and has lost a little weight over the past year, probably a few kg, so I'm thinking it's probably this. (She's at the lower end of the healthy weight range for her age and height).
There's no way she could be pregnant, no boyfriend and I have talked to her about this.
I'm going to get her a GP appt but just wondering if anyone had advice?

That wasn't my intention, I'm sorry. It's just that a GP will want to rule out pregnancy as PPs have said.

I had to take a pregnancy test before getting my coil fitted even though I told them there was no way I could be pregnant (I hadn't had sex in months.) I had no reason to lie or hide anything but still had to take the test.

I had to take a pregnancy test before a gyne investigation when I hadn't had sex in over a decade! I guess doctors have seen enough 'no I couldn't possibly be pregnant' pregnant women to take any risks.

I tried to make a joke about immaculate conception but the nurse didn't laugh... I was like mmm ok we're being serious then

(I realise it is no laughing matter if a woman is pregnant without any knowledge that she could be - maybe the nurse was thinking about that, who knows.)
