If you have missed a period and think you may be pregnant...

1. Do a pregnancy test. This can be done at a Family Health center, a diagnostic lab, or at home. To do it at home, you can buy a kit at any chemist or pharmacy and follow the instructions.
2. If you are having a pregnancy test at a clinic, remember to tell the nurse or doctor the date of your last period. You will be asked to bring a urine sample taken in the morning.
3. If the result is Negative, use this false alarm to make sure you start using contraception regularly!
4. If the result is Positive, you must decide what you want to do. Talk to someone who can guide you (The most reliable would be a Gynaecologist).
5. You have 3 choices: keeping the baby, giving the baby for adoption or an abortion.
6. Seek an adult's advice to help you take a decision that will be best for you. Do not try and face this alone.
