Where to get one
Plenty of options
You can get a pregnancy test for free from your GP or CASH service. It's confidential and it doesn't matter if you're under 16.
You can ask to see a female doctor or nurse if you prefer. No-one will judge you for getting a test, and if you are pregnant the doctor, nurse or CASH staff can help you decide what you want to do next.
You can also buy a pregnancy test from most pharmacies. They usually cost less than £10.

What is a pregnancy test?
Pregnancy tests work by testing the chemicals in your pee. They're really easy to use, but they all work in slightly different ways so you need to make sure you follow the instructions on the pack carefully.
You can use a pregnancy test as soon as your first period since you had unprotected sex should have started. If you're periods aren't always regular or you can't remember when you're due on, you can use a pregnancy test three weeks after you had unprotected sex.
