Am I pregnant?
If you think you may be pregnant, do a test as soon as
possible.
You can carry out a pregnancy test from the first
day of a missed period or 21 days from the last time
you had unprotected sex. Tests that are done earlier than this may
not be accurate.
If the test is positive, this means you are pregnant. All
pregnancy tests, when carried out correctly and at the right time,
are reliable. This includes tests that you buy from the pharmacy or
supermarket to do yourself.
If you don't have regular periods, and the test is negative, you
should repeat the test at least three weeks (21
days) from the last time that you had unprotected sex.
Where can I get a pregnancy test?
- You can buy pregnancy testing kits from pharmacists and some
supermarkets. They can give a quick result, and you can do the test
in private.
- You can get a free pregnancy test from a sexual
health clinic, visit Yuno sexual health to find your
nearest service.
