Question I have been careless and I have had unprotected sex with my boyfriend about 4 times in the past 2 weeks...I used to be on the pill but I have not taken it for a couple of months. I just want the truth, can I be pregnant?
Answer Dear Katherine,
Yes, you absolutely can be pregnant. You might want to look into Plan B Emergency Contraception. You can buy this at a drugstore without a prescription. It works up to 5 days after unprotected sex.
If it's too late for that, wait and see if you miss your period. That is the first reliable symptom of pregnancy. If you do miss it, you can buy a home pregnancy test to see if you are pregnant or not.
