Unprotected sex could lead to an
unplanned pregnancy!

It doesn't matter if you had sex during your period or that it is your "first time", you could still become pregnant if you are not using contraception correctly.

It's Your Choice offers Pregnancy Testing for young women who are worried that they may be pregnant.  The test must be done at one of our drop-in centres and involves providing a urine sample. See the pregnancy testing page for more details.

Becoming pregnant unexpectedly at a young age can be a big shock and very distressing - however it needn't be the end of the world and with right help and support many young women and men go on to make very good parents.

It could however affect your future plans for education, employment and accommodation not to mention your social life and relationships.

If a young woman does have an unplanned pregnancy, It's Your Choice can offer her help and support to look at the options open to her and help her to decide what she wants to do next. Young people need time to think through those options, the impact a pregnancy and baby will have on their lives, what changes they may need to make in their lives and how they will cope with them.

It's Your Choice gives the young women the opportunity to adjust to her situation and can provide free and confidential advice and information about other agencies and services who may able to help or offer support her in her decisions.
