Answer Dear Maria,
Yes, there is a chance that you could become pregnant. You can have someone over 18 get Plan B Emergency Contraception for you at the nearest pharmacy. If taken within 5 days of sex, it helps prevent pregnancy.
The sooner you take it the better the chance that it will work.
Take care,
Deb
Dear Maria,
I just noticed I didn't answer your last question: "can i take a test now?"
No, wait until your period is due. If it is late, then you can test.
