Teen Pregnancy

If your period is late and you think you might be pregnant, you can get a standard, over the counter urine pregnancy test from any drug store.

Menstrual periods can be delayed or missed altogether for a variety of physical and emotional reasons. A standard pregnancy test can be done if your period is one week late. A test done too early won't be accurate.

If the urine pregnancy test shows that you might be pregnant, you should see a doctor to confirm the results.

There are lots of resources available to you to help you make decisions if you are pregnant.

In the meantime, we have also included some information for you here that was compiled by Planned Parenthood BC:
